1. vi /etc/hosts and make sure the file is configured in this example format:
   
   # Do not remove the following line, or various programs
   # that require network functionality will fail.
   127.0.0.1   localhost.localdomain   localhost
   10.1.2.3    voyence.lab.voyence.com voyence
2. vi /opt/voyence/ui/html/powerup.jnlp. Run a global search and replace, replacing localhost IPs with the outside IP of your VoyenceControl server:
   
   :%s/127.0.0.1/10.1.2.3/g
3. Restart all VoyenceControl services:
   
   service vcmaster restart
4. On your client machine, clear out your Java cache:
