Antony,
>From your problem description it sounds as if you are violating the
Applet Security model. Please refer to
http://java.sun.com/sfaq/#socket
You should be able to configure the browser to relax this restriction
by modifying the security preferences. However, you must realize that
changing these settings in the browser will impact your security for
all sites visited. The other alternative is to use signed classes
which is also described in the above faq.
