Is this a new Ipex 32port from telrad?
If so I would double check the IP addres in you laptop. I live here in NEW YORK and I've seen them test the card berfore it goes out. Also the Ipex runs alot slower than the E-maning Tower. When you telnet in it might take a good 30-60 Seconds
Make sure your IP address in your lap top is right.
10.0.0.xxx
255.255.255.0
Default gateway Shouldn't matter but you have to put one in.
