In general this should work.

However -- running an SD on Windows is probably not very well tested.

So you better start checking if the SD is actually listining on the port 
and would accept incoming connections from the local system -- i.e., 
netstat and firewall settings. Netstat exists on Windows, firewall 
settings I only know the GUI tool which is not diagnostics-friendly, I 
think. But then, I don't know it really well...

If settings look good, try putty on the windows host to connect to the 
SD running there. You should get an error indicating clearly if the 
connection fails, or if the protocol fails.

Smells like firewall to me, but you'll find out about that.

To get better help, it would be useful if you actually shared the 
relevant configuration. Which would be the Storage and Client resources 
from SD and FD on the Windows system, I think.
