John: The user interface for dependencies is still somewhat hidden.
To enable dependencies for a map, you need to define a "reference point". The reference point is the device or network that represents the InterMapper machine on the map. All dependencies are determined from the point of view of this "reference point". To set a reference point for a map, control-click on a device or network and choose "Set Reference Point" from the contextual menu that appears. You will see a small star appear in the lower left corner of this node. Items that are not "reachable" from this reference point will appear dimmed. Note that nodes which are permanently unreachable - ie aren't connected at all to the reference point -- do not participate in the dependency calculation.
