a default IP like that only works if the host connecting to it is on the 
same IP subnet and physical LAN segment, unless your routers know to 
route 192.168.70.0/24 to that physical segment. set a laptop to 
192.168.70.10 mask 255.255.255.0 and plug a ethernet cable in directly 
between the IPMI/BMC management network port and the laptop, THEN try 
and connect to the web thingie.
