Tips on using the web interface:

1. Make sure that port 81 is open if you are using a firewall on either the server or client PC's.
2. Port forwarding may be necessary
3. 127.0.0.1 will not work for a local IP address. Use the actual IP of the machine.
4. Test the server and client locally to verify it is working before moving each part to separate PC's
