Installing Java browser plugin - BT2

[Si2006]

Hi

I've installed jre1.6.0_05 on my backtrack box but having problems getitng to run in my firefox(1.5) browser , applets fail to load.
nothing shows up in: about : plugins

i've made the symbolic link between the Firefox plugin folder. using the libjavaplugin_oji.so in the ns7 dir.

ive cleared the browser cache and restarted the system still nothing.

i need it so i can connect to my XP comp via VNC.

any ideas what to check up on next ?

cheers
