But I am not able to interpret the information given in above link correctly. In other words, it is not working for me or my use case is different than what is described in that link.

Well, your use-case is exactly what is described , so maybe you'd like to try to figure out why its not working for you? Maybe you have firewall?

FWIW, if I were in love with Eclipse/EPIC, I would opt for remote desktop option (start eclipse on remote server), say using VNC over ssh2
