I had to upgrade the firmware in order to get SSH connections to work, but the java serial console just worked. I would first make sure that you have the DRAC configured correctly especially gateway and DNS server IPs, then start by running a Web browser on the Dell itself and connecting to the DRAC. The other thing is that I do get lots of warnings about certificates, so maybe over-aggressive browser security settings are your problem. I realise I should have said that these are DRAC4s. I don't believe that the underlying OS should matter a jot, but we have 5.4-RELEASE. I can connect from a Mozilla browser with native java 1.4. You do have Java installed, right? --Alex
