ot: xbmc remote control

[Michael Havens]

this is strange! the first url was supposed to be:
http://lifehacker.com/5501010/enhance-your-xbmc-experience-with-remote-controls-for-any-device
and the second was an image that is in the first:
http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18ixzpye9x9e7jpg/ku-medium.jpg

as such my post reads:

I am trying to make it so that I can control my xbmc box from my laptop. I
followed the directions here:
http://lifehacker.com/5501010/enhance-your-xbmc-experience-with-remote-controls-for-any-device
but
when I type in the xbmc server's IP,
http://img.gawkerassets.com/img/18ixzpye9x9e7jpg/ku-medium.jpg does not
appear but rather the 'website may be down' error appears. What am I doing
wrong? (both the laptop and xbmc server run an ubuntu derivative) (a
firewall is not running)
