It turns out that you can not access godaddy PIX firewall using the latest java, because the PIX control panel uses depricated java functionality, so you need to downgrade your java - following are steps on how to do this without uninstalling the latest java version you have:
You'll need to use java version 1.6.0_11 or older. Newer versions are not compatible with the Pix Device Manager.
You can install a second version of Java. And when you need to access the firewall you can disable the newer version.
Go to:
http://java.sun.com/products/archive/ and download an appropriate version.
Once installed navigate to Start > Control Panel > Java > Java > Uncheck all other versions > Ok.
Just wanted to say... THANK YOU! You would think that GoDaddy would have something about that in their writeups. Oh well...
