Sun x4170 ILOM - Can't get to the web interface 2 days after password reset

Question

Just bought a used x4170. I was able to get iLOM on the network and get to the web interface logon screen after setting the IP for it.
I tried logging on but the password was not given to me. So I connected to the serial interface (rj45) from another machine and used putty to connect. Got to the preboot point and was able to reset the password to default, Rebooted.
I was then able to log into iLOM. That was 2 days ago. Today for some reason, I can't get into iLOM. It pings but I can't get to the web interface. I get the IE error "cannot connect" or unable to connect or something like that.
I'm completely new to this brand of server so consider me completely ignorant on all aspects of the hardware.......lol
Thanks

Hello
By default, you connect to the server’s service processor (SP) using the out-of-band network management port (NET MGT). The ILOM sideband management feature enables you to select either the NET MGT port or one of the server’s Gigabit Ethernet ports (NET 0, 1, 2, 3), which are in-band ports, to send and receive ILOM commands to and from the server SP. In-band ports are also called sideband ports.
You can refer more here : https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19269-01/820-7959-11/820-7959-11.pdf
If you want to use the NET MGT port of ILOM, then your output should display similar to below
-> show /SP/network
/SP/network
    Targets:
        interconnect
        ipv6
        test
    Properties:
        commitpending = (Cannot show property)
        dhcp_clientid = none
        dhcp_server_ip = xxxxxxxxx
        ipaddress = xxxxxxxxx
        ipdiscovery = dhcp
        ipgateway = xxxxxxxxx
        ipnetmask = xxxxxxxxx
        macaddress = 00:10:E0:65:2F:20
        managementport = MGMT   <<<<<<<<<<<<<<
        outofbandmacaddress = 00:10:E0:65:2F:20
        pendingipaddress = xxxxxxxxx
        pendingipdiscovery = dhcp
        pendingipgateway = xxxxxxxxx
        pendingipnetmask = xxxxxxxxx
        pendingmanagementport = MGMT    <<<<<<<<<<<<
        pendingvlan_id = (none)
        sidebandmacaddress = 00:10:E0:65:2F:21
        state = enabled
        vlan_id = (none)
Hope this helps.
