Are you using firefox with a suitable java app installed?

Also.. does that website use any weird ports that your ubuntu firewall is blocking?

It could be something missing from ubuntu -- I regard Ubuntu as the equivalent of an early Beta release a lot of things get broken in it. --- which is why Mint has become popular it lags a few months behind Ubuntu versions but everything works..

You can run IE6 on ubuntu or just about any other Linux. see
