Running a LabVIEW program from on a remote PXI system from a host PC

Hi,
 
Sorry to ask such a simple question but I can't seen to find a solution elsewhere...
 
I have developed a LabVIEW program that runs on a normal desktop PC used for monitoring a process. I have recently also developed a program that runs on a PXI system (NI PXI-8106 with 3*PXI-4071 DMM cards) that will be used in a different location from the first PC. Both programs run as required and have been thouroughly tested for about 3 weeks.
 
I now would like to be able to run the program on the PXI system remotely from the PC and display the results in the PC Program (eleminating the need for screen etc. on the PXI system). Basically all that is needed is 2 'Go' buttons (the test on the PXI system is in 2 parts) and for the results (a cluster of doubles and a waveform) to be controlled/displayed on the PC Labview program. All the data capture and processing is still to be done on the remote system.
 
I know I have to use a shared variable on the PC and connect that to a 'Go' button on my front panel, but how do I tell it that it has to control the 'Go' button on the remote system?
 
Both have LabVIEW 8.5 and are connected using Ethernet.
 
I know this is very simple to do, but I think I have made it far more complicated than it should be!!
 
Thank you in advance!
Darren.
