Unconnected sockets not implemented

• am using ASA 5550 and ASA 5520 with ASDM 61351 and 8.0.4.3. ASDM seems to be incompatible with JRE 1.6.0_10. With JRE 1.6.0_7 it works.

Just deinstall the Java 6 Update 10

Change the link /usr/bin/java to the apropiate version

Solaris 10 comes with JDK 1.5.x which does not work with ASDM. But you can install JDK 1.6.0_7 (but nothing newer).

The Java version on a Macs is still 1.6.0_6 (on Intel Dual Core)
