When I go to the site on port 9000, it offers me a pop-up to download
the gconsole.jnlp file. I choose "Open with..." and select javaws. It
opens Java, then thinks about it and says "Unable to launch the
application." I click on details, and am attaching the exception and
wrapped exception. Can anyone decipher this and tell me whats going on?

java.net.SocketException: Network is unreachable
