I'm not familiar with the Dell one, but I am with the HP equivalent. First, are you sure there isn't an IP conflict? Unlikely, but possible. Second, try running nmap against the IP and see what ports it says are open. If you're not familiar with nmap, it's free, easy to install, and for basic use like this very simple.

I'm getting mixed information from Dell. I can't seem to get ahold of anyone in Tech Support via email. I may have to call them when I'm in front of the server so I can get them to help me set it up. I got instructions from my sales rep's Storage Specialist on how to set it up, and I thought I'd set it up right. I hit CTL+E when the prompt for "configure remote access" came up and gave it a static IP and enabled IPMI over LAN. Still can't telnet to that IP address. It responds to a PING on that IP address, but no telnet/web connection allowed. Just times out. If anyone has any experience with this, can you chime in? If not, I guess I'll give Dell a call eventually.
