I'm pretty familiar with Java SE and am just starting to learn Java EE and doing the First Cup Tutorial. I followed all of the instructions carefully. I am running this on my work computer (Windows 7) with a work firewall (Windows Firewall).
When I attempt to launch the GlassFish server I get this output in NetBeans:

The output lines that begin with "SEVERE:" look pretty bad. But then again, I'm a Java EE newbie.
