Connecting TO Call manager

I'm a learning network dummy:

We have a MCS 7800 series running 5.03 on a standalone training network.

I have it direct connected to a 2924 switch, the NIC and switchport show green. The switch is going to a 2800 router. I have a computer plugged into the switch, IP 172.16.11.19 255.255.255.252.

I assigned the MCS 172.16.11.28, but no matter what IP I use I can't ping it or log into it.

Tested all the cables.

Show Network eth0=

dhcp: disabled

status: up

ip add 172.16.11.28

ip mask 255.255.255.252

link detected: no

mode: auto enable, unknown! (255), N/A

DNS

Primary 172.16.11.28

secondary:

options timeout:5 attmepts:2

domaing:ipswitch

gateway:none

What silly mistake(s) am I making?

(also the front panel of the MCS has a yellow exclamation light and the HD light is also permanently yellow..?)

2 things

1st Make sure the config on switch is auto as you have it on MCS, or hard code the mode on both ends:

link detected: no

mode: auto enable, unknown! (255), N/A

Should be something like:

Link Detected: yes

Mode : Auto disabled, full, 100MB/s

I have it hard coded, yours is in auto

2nd there is no default gateway

gateway:none

Should see:

Gateway : x.x.x.x

Thanks, I've tried putting in the Gateway several times and it won't "stick."

As far as the Mode, I've tried to force a setting, but I can't get anything to work. Set Network nic eth0

Then variations of auto disable, full, 100, etc..

It ALWAYS kicks back "command executed unsuccessfully"... :-<

OK, So I was a total idiot, we have 3 servers side by side with a KVM and we had the cat5 plugged into the wrong one.

We can login on the terminal, we can get the GUI open on a separate machine, but don't know what the password was ON THE GUI.

--How do we reset/recover that one??

THANK YOU!
