The black screen involves incorrect network settings either locally or
somewhere between the two boxes... Try following the suggestions
here (http://dev.remotenetworktechnology.com/ts/blackhole.htm) first..
Then check your network settings to make sure they are consistent with
what they should be (i.e., if you are getting an IP Address of
192.168.x.x, your subnet mask should be 255.255.255.0, etc).
