Unfortunately at our work some firewall settings can't be changed by the 
user (even with admin rights). My previous solution of simply directing 
people to try several times until it works seems to no longer work as after 
a single failure the "Open an IPython console" option is now greyed out & 
inactive. Was this an intended change? Can it be changed back so you can 
happily try to open an IPython console as often as you like?

Thanks,
Dave
