ein:notebooklist-open can't connect #142

This might be a dumb question, but it's been keeping me from making more use of this wonderful tool...

I can't seem to connect to a remote notebook server with ein:notebooklist-open. Opening the url of my external IPython Notebook server in the browser (Chrome) brings up the standard IPython Notebook list but using that same URL in Emacs and trying connect tells me:

ein: [error] Error (error) while opening notebook list at the server ipysrv:8888.
ein: [error] Error (error) while opening notebook list at the server http://ipysrv:8888.

However, if I start an IPython server locally (8888), I am able to connect and use EIN as expected. Is there something obvious I am missing in order to connect to servers across a network?

I also tried using the strictly numerical address returned by nslookup for the IPython notebook server, but that wouldn't even resolve in Chrome.
