Lookout 6.6 server/client process not working across network

I have a server and client process setup in Lookout 6.6 using a symbolic link in the client process for all of my data members, switches, etc.  If I have the client process running on the same PC as the server process, everything works fine.  When I open the client process in a client version of Lookout 6.6 on a remote computer, none of my links work.  Everything has a red "X" over it.  Both PC's showing on my network.  What am I missing?

This just a guess, but the symbolic links may be referencing the local computer i.e. \\.\Process\Object.DataMember.  If this is the case change \\.\ to \\ComputerName\ and your remote client should then work as expected.

I already the symbolic link set up with the computer name.  I was able to get it working today.  It was Windows firewall blocking the program.
