Went to another machine running Java SE 6 update 7 and it worked (this machine even has IE 9 on it first machine had IE8). So I'm thinking the problem might be the fact that on my machine I also run the JAVE SE Development kit 7 on it (since I program). 
Trying to upgrade a new equallogic from v5.1.1 to 5.1.2 on the firmware. In the GUI when I hit the upgrade action button it comes back on the status with: "FTP: Permissions denied: recv failed". I turned off the firewall on my laptop, but still no go. I'm sure I'm forgetting something. Any ideas?
