I haven't watched SG-1's "Memento" in a while, but I believe that's the episode that establishes that the Earth ships use gate addresses to navigate. Which means for the Hammond to be able to get to the LA planet, Telford would have provided a gate address. Meaning the SGC could have dialed in to prevent the LA from dialing out while Carter's strike team moved in.
The only things I could see that would prevent them from dialing in are:
1. In Air Scott says something about the Icarus gate being modified to prevent dial ins because of the power being tied in from the planets core or something. It is possible that the LA did this as well but it isn't stated explicitly.
2. Earth ships have some other way of navigating now and Telford gave them some other type of coordinate besides a gate address.
Idk, this is really just nit picking, but I wish they had addressed this point because I keep thinking that would have been the best thing for them to do.
