Thanks for posting!  The lastest firmware is 1.21, so please flash the firmware and reseat the DRAC card's parallel cables.  Also check your network cabling.  If that doesn't fix the problem, your browser's security may be causing problems.

 

Here is the firmware:

I have two DRAC 5's with Firmware 1.21 on two 2950s with the same issue.  Connection is incomplete, and any error dumps you out of the DRAC and puts you to the login page. I'm trying to install the Virtual Media Active-X control and it just fails, and sends me to an incomplete login page. Reloading the page does bring up the login box.

 

I'm using IE 6.0 SP2 on XP SP2.

 

cheers,

Thanks for posting!  If your firmware is at the latest version, sometimes it is good to flash it anyways.  Most likely this is a problem with your browser.  Go to Tools -> Internet Options -> Security -> Trusted Sites -> Custom Level and change everything in the ActiveX category to Enabled.  Then put the DRAC in your Trusted Sites Zone.
