Hi Jon,
I was actually running the installer from my office in E25, I assumed since the hostnames/mac addresses were set up for dhcp that should work. Is that not the case?

Hi Pam,
I just tested the installer and it was able to successfully configure the correct IP addresses for those hostnames. Obviously, I can't test any further than that since I'm not in E53 or building 14, respectively. I would normally suspect some local network problem, but obviously if you were able to boot over the network, that's not the case. I can meet you in Dewey Library at some point this week and take a look in person, if you send me some times when you're available. Something strange may be going on on the E53 network, as the cluster services team also had a problem installing another machine in Dewey (dew-ref-1), with a similar failure.
