Odesk Share Connection Problem

I'm testing my connection's ability to connect over the net using oDesk Share. When I check the connection from my browser, I get a "failed to connect" error with the following details:

"System Information:

Operating System:       Mac OS X 10.5.4
Java Runtime Environment:   Apple Inc. 1.5.0_13
Java Virtual Machine:       Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (Apple Inc. 1.5.0_13-119)

System Diagnostics:

Secure Socket Layer support: Not available

Network Diagnostics:

Connection to port 5900: FAILED (error getting socket).
Connection to port 6100: FAILED (error getting socket).

In order to host an oDeskShare session please enable tunneling
via the Preferences:Connection dialogue"

I am using Firefox v2.0.0.14.

It's not clear which Preferences:Connection dialogue is being referred to. (browser, OS, other?) I've checked both the browser and OS, but can't find any settings having to do with tunneling.

Any help is appreciated.

Your browser is completely ignoring the <APPLET> tag.
