Networking Hog 3 PC to Full Boar

I know this has probably been discussed in several incarnations but I can't seem to find what I am looking for.

I have Hog 3 PC running on my laptop and a Full Boar that I want to run as the master console/server for my shows. I want to be able to set up the PC in a different location to operate various aspects of the show to take some pressure off the board op. However, when I try to network the two, I cannot get either machine off of the loopback adapter. I have setup static IPs on both machines and everything else seems to match except for "console number" (I changed my laptop to console 2). I don't know what I am doing (wrong or right) to make this work. Any ideas, tips, tricks, etc? I am at a loss as to what to do next.

Thanks,
Eric
