DroboPro ISCSI Connection – Connection has limited or no connectivity in Windows 2003

droboiscsiwindows-server-2003

I have a DroboPro
I've connected the device directly via USB and it works fine.

If i connect the ethernet cable directly from the 2nd Network card on my host machine, to the DroboPro (in order to use ISCSI) then it doesn't seem to connect-
I get a "Acquiring Network Address" message, on the network icon…
This eventially gives up and I get "This connection has limited or no connectivity"

I've set the Drobo to use DHCP (obtain address automatically)

I'm using Windows 2003 on the host machine, microsoft iscsi initiator (not that it can get this far yet!)

You should probably configure both the NIC and the Drobo with static IPs from the 1918 range. Alternately you could configure the server as a DHCP server, but this is going to add a lot of completely needless complexity.
