some more info:
To set it up, just attach a ESX3 iso to it. It will automatically mount it and with one click, import the PXE bootfiles and strip the HBA drivers to do a save install while SAN LUNs are attached!
It also shares files with samba which makes getting files to the ESX host during installation very easy. the scriptbuilder will insert the correct scriptpieces to read files from the DL share (this is a readonly share). to put files on the EDA, go to the DL$ share (with the dollarsign) as root user.

first, this is the EDA, not the UDA 
but that's ok, the UDA is a great appliance too.
but that IP address is the address you gave your EDA, or at least it should be. if it's not, try adding a new esx server. this will generate a new pxe-boot config where the ip is filled in.
if it still won't read the netstg2.img, try importing the pxe files from the CD with the link on the main page. could be the built-in pxeboot files are for a slightly differnet version of esx than the one you're using.
