I've tried configuring the IPMI controller to accept remote connections, but I can't even ping it.

Here is it status:

In summary. It exists on the ARP list so arp's are being broadcast. I can't ping it and can't connect to it. Can anyone spot any glaring mistakes in the configuration?

Many thanks, Fidel
