Laptop access by IP address. If you are logging in to the services Ethernet interface from
a directly connected laptop, the IP address on the server is always 192.11.13.6 . The
subnet mask is always 255.255.255.252 . New servers that have not yet been
configured can only be accessed in this way. Server-name login is not available through
the services interface because this connection is a closed (private) network with no DNS.
