IPad enrollment problems with my local server

Question

So,
recently I installed lion server onto an iMac to get mdm going at our business.  I created a standalone server that only has local access.  All the services are running, fine, and the open directory is also running okay.  I set the dns to the following
static IP=192.168.1.87
DNS=192.168.1.87
Router=192.168.0.1
Subnet=255.255.0.0
Search Domain=server.connect-tech.local
I can go to https://server.connect-tech.local/mydevices on the iMac that is acting as my server, but when I try to enroll our iPads I can't get to that page to enroll our devices for mdm.  Not sure what I'm missing?  I thought it was something related to settings in our modem/router, becuase I don't have access to our company's modem/router settings.  So, created a local network without any internet access, disabling all firewalls, and configuring it to function as a DHCP server.  I setup a wifi network that the iPads and the server were connected to at the same time.  But still, the iPads and iPhones won't get into the mydevices page.
Any ideas?  I have a feeling its something simple that I'm missing.  Let me know if you need more info.  Thanks!

Don't you think it might be a good idea to find out what kind of IOException you're getting? At least display ioe.getMessage. showMessages will take an Object array instead of a single string so you can do:
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, new Object[]{"Error in server", ioe.getMessage}, "Error",
JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
