Notes:

If a machine is not available at the time the Tutor initialised, you can subsequently connect to it by clicking the class in the status bar and choosing Refresh. This will re-search the network and connect any additional Students meeting the criteria.
It is essential that you have a logical naming convention for the Student machines. If you need to change the names of any Student machines, see Configuring the Student - Advanced settings.
