Are both the client and GUI set to use the same port? IIRC, the default port is 4001. If the GUI is running on another system, might there be a firewall blocking communication? If they are both on the same system, do you have loopback networking running? To check, type '/sbin/ifconfig lo' in a root console and see if it says something like "UP LOOPBACK RUNNING".
