Just an update - I didn't end up working from home today, so didn't get a chance to test those things out. However, I had to re-install / setup everything on a different computer (again) at the new office and it's all working perfectly!
Once I try out faejon's suggestions, if they don't work, I think I'll setup my environment from scratch again and see if that fixes it! thanks all :) On Apr 24, 5:46 pm, emz452 <emz...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks for the suggestions faejon, I'll try these things and let you > know how I go (long weekend where I am, so Tuesday will be the next > working day for me!) > > Angrez - Yep, I have sudo/admin rights and can start firefox with > sudo. > > On Apr 24, 4:08 pm, Angrez Singh <ang...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > I think jssh is not installed properly, do you have admin rights? or can you > > start Firefox -jssh with "sudo" command? > > > - Angrez > > > On Fri, Apr 24, 2009 at 8:04 AM, faejon <fae...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > On Apr 22, 7:17 pm, emz452 <emz...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > Hi there, > > > > ~~~ SNIP ~~~ > > > > If I launch firefox with -jssh and try to telnet: > > > > em...@emily-desktop:~$ firefox -jssh > > > > em...@emily-desktop:~$ telnet localhost 9997 > > > > Trying 127.0.0.1... > > > > telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused > > > > em...@emily-desktop:~$ > > > ~~~ SNIP ~~~ > > > > Many thanks, > > > > Emily > > > > Emily the above telnet test indicates that you are unable to > > > communicate with your local machine on port 9997.
