Access virtual controller on remote PC via network

I'm trying to access a virtual controller on a PC via local network. I found and followed the instructions in this discussion:
https://forums.robotstudio.com/discussion/4280/can-i-access-virtual-controller-via-network
When debugging, I can see and create a ControllerInfo object for the desired remote VC okay, I but when I attempt to create the Controller object, I get an exception with this message:
"Message= Error connect to controller."
Is there a solution for this problem?
Others were also getting this error in the above post, but no one seemed to have resolved it, from what I see. Here is some sample code for what I'm doing:
NetworkScanner networkScanner = new NetworkScanner();
networkScanner.Scan();
ControllerInfo[] controllers = networkScanner.GetControllers();
ControllerInfo controllerInfo = controllers[0];
Controller robotController = ControllerFactory.CreateFrom(controllerInfo); <--- Here is the where the problem occurs
