Our new XServe arrived today and one of the first things I decided to test out was the Server Monitor application. From the Server > Configure Local Machine I set up a static IP address on Port 1 of Lights Out Management interface, but when I tried to connect to this from Server Monitor, it failed with the following error:
4/10/08 5:49:33 PM: Failed to contact server
The strange thing was that I could connect to it from another mac on our network. So I then tried to connect to localhost instead (127.0.0.1), and this immediately worked!
