1. You can't connect using the server's IP address. In other words,
when you try to connect, it gives an error dialog. However, QuickDNS
Remote is running. This indicates that the two machines are unable to
talk to each other over IP. This needs to be resolved first.
2. You don't see the Manager and Progress windows. What resolution is
your monitor set to? I've noticed that it doesn't work well at 640 x
480.
