Hi OK, the installer runs, but I can't connect to it. Here's what I get the first time I try to telnet into the IP it's using: Trying 192.168.1.102... Connected to 192.168.1.102. Escape character is '^]'. Connection closed by foreign host. and if I try again after that I get a simple connection refused message. I'm trying to telnet in through my linux desktop using the standard telnet command. What am I missing? This s a DHCP-supplied IP, if I give it an IP manually and try to telnet in it just hangs there indefinitely. I even tried running nmap on it and it appears that *all* ports are closed. Do I need to configure a something in my router, a port forward to forward the telnet port, perhaps?
