Here are the results:
1) I can successfully ping both from .199 to .195 and from .195 to .199
2) telnet connection to port 80 does something weird. When I first tried it, the command prompt console goes blank and just sits there. I thought it had timed out, so I pressed the key 'a' and hit enter. Then I get the following:

Press any key to continue...
(sorry, had to use the PHP tags for the HTML code to appear without it being rendered)
And that's the end of it. You can see the letter 'a' appearing halfway in the code. It ends up no matter what I type in the console when it goes blank, that text will show up in this output.
Weird. Thanks to a Google search, it seems a 501 error is when the http server can't communicate with the device because it is not a browser (which is true in thise case as it's a telnet session). This therefore SHOULD mean that the http requests on port 80 are getting through but when I type 192.168.0.195 into the browser it just sits there for 15+ minutes waiting to connect.
Any thoughts?
Thank you.
