That was at least part of the problem.  I don't recall the TCF wizard
ever asking me these questions (but I might have missed it).  I poked
around and right clicked on the connection (192.168.1.177) and got into
the TCF properties and was able to set this to true.

I had to restart eclipse to make it go though.

At this point, I can run something, thanks.  I'll let you know if I
have other problems.
