    I encountered the same problem 2 days ago. Could not ping the DRAC IP either. So, I had to drive to the datacenter, power down 1850, unplug power cord, and plug the power cord back. Then, DRAC is back. I guess it must be a DRAC bug, maybe we should inform Dell to fix it.

    have either of you check for a flash bios upgrade for it? I've got 3 units I just purchased with Drac's so guess I'll find out if mine are bugged too.

    The flash BOIS version on my 1850 is A02, which is the lastest according to Dell Support site. The DRAC 4 Firmware version is 1.20 (Build 03.11), which is also the lastest version.

    I have 2 1850 with DRAC 4. And it's the first time I encountered the problem on one server. It seems quite random, but it's really annoying when it happens. Guess we need call Dell support and ask them to fix it.

    Also, some of the Drac card doesn't work propely with all the OS. What OS are you using?

    OS is Redhat Linux ES 3 (32-bit) , which is purchased with the server at the same time.
