Yeah it should at least do that for you, but it sounds like your deployment tracker is not updating.
The tracker uses port TCP 3121 to communicate with the Protect console - the most important thing is to verify this port is open from the target system back to the console system.
Also check that your tracker address is set to the correct address in case the console system has multiple NICs or addresses that could be used. You can verify the address the tracker uses in Protect under Tools > Options > Deployment.
