Just as I installed and went of for the configuration, the first problem came up.

It looked like it had locked up, but I noticed on the Task Manager that the javaw.exe process priority was set to low. Since I'm running other projects, I guess the javaw didn't have cpu time, so I raised the priority to normal and it began working well.
(After shutting down and restarting, the priority was back to low again, so now I'm searching for a way to set it to start at normal priority)

Another problem was that by default it picked up the wrong network interface. It wasn't connecting to anything and was just raising Firewall alarms. I went in the options and selected the right network interface, restarted, and it's now working well.
