Try ASCOM's POTH Handset to connect your mount and dome and make sure that everything is playing nicely before moving on. Just by using the standard handset, the scope and dome should track. Here are my settings:

All i did is run a simple single program to control the Dome controller, and thats it. The dome slaves to the telescope via "THE Sky 6". In other words, when i move the telescope (With or without The Sky running) the Dome moves and follows the telescope.
To control everything remotely, i just connect via a wireless lan using Windows Remote Desktop. This allows me to control everything, like telescope camera, anything connected to the computer in my Observatory via any PC in the network or internet (In Full Screen) as if i was sitting in the observatory watching on the screen.
I'll get you my setup tomorrow and get you to try the same method, and see how we go. Its kinda late at the moment...
