Unable to connect to XPlane 10 from my laptop

[peasmarsh]

Hello
I have two computers that I use for Plan-G a desktop machine on which XPlane 10 is installed, and a laptop on which I have Plan-G installed,
my problem is I think I cannot get them to connect. Here are the details to help perhaps with troubleshooting or advice.

Desktop Computer:
Windows 7 Home Premium
Local IP  is 192.168.1.86
I have also installed Plan-G v3 on this machine, after reading some threads.

Laptop
Windows 8.1
Local IP 192.168.1.87
FS Connections:                Connect with       XPUIPC is checked
Simconnect Settings:        Network Mode     IPv4 is checked
                                          FSX Computer    192.168.1.86
                                          Server Port/pipe 0

I know both computers are connected across the network, and that they share the XPlane folder on the desktop machine, as I use another software product EFASS without problems.
When flying VFR my number one preferred choice is Plan-G for the map detail and many other rich features which are not in other software.

If anyone ask's for a copy of my log, could you provide the path of where I would find it?

Thank you

Any help will appreciated.
