Question

I can not run topcoder arena on my Mac..

When I try to login topcoder from safari, it says Java not found.

So I download the .jnlp….but still can not run

Here is my Java version:

java -version
java version "1.6.0_29"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_29-b11-402-11M3527)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.4-b02-402, mixed mode)

Here is the error message when running .jnlp from my Mac air:

In addition, my safari has definitely turned Java on…

Answer 1

That error message doesn’t indicate you can’t find Java — it’s ConnectionTimedOut, which says you are probably being blocked by a firewall, or the server at topcoder is hosed somehow.
