Simple explanation here. When you have a Smart______ GUI open (fill in the blank), and you use the drop down menu, it tries to open the new application using the same IP you are currently connected to.

Let's say your SCS is IP_A and Eventia is IP_B. You are connected to Dashboard on IP_A and want to open Eventia, you must open the Eventia GUI manually and change the IP from IP_A (the last IP you connected to) to IP_B and then type your credentials.

Question: Do you plan on using the Eventia server as a log server? If so, you will find that you will not be able to save custom queries using your shared SCS login (works if you have a local login, like admin). I have the fix if anyone needs it.
