I need some server help/pointers

I have downloaded the current vanilla server and following the instructions below
Instructions for installing the Vanilla Netrek Server

Summary
-------

 0) decide where to install the server on your file system,
 1) type "./configure --prefix=path" replacing path with your choice,
            (default path is /usr/local/games/netrek)
 2) type "make install",
 3) "cd" to the path you gave, or /usr/local/games/netrek,
     3a) Under Cygwin, ensure that /usr/sbin/cygserver.exe is running
 4) "bin/netrekd" to start the server,
 5) use a client to connect to the server.

STEP 3A ??? Has me stumped I can not find any file with that name on the system.

I have compiled and make install, and have the "netrekd" running it shows when I do a "ps -A"
but I do not seem able to connect to it from my client running on windows box.
I have tried starting the client
D:\Netrek\netrek.exe -h localhost
D:\Netrek\netrek.exe -h 192.168.1.30 (my server ip)
it appears to time out, I see the following in the box
Reading defaults file netrekrc.txt
Calling 192.168.1.30 on port 2592

and then everything goes away after a bit.
(my server is a FC6 server)
am I missing something? what test/debug steps can I do to see whats working and not working?
