I am a new user of Java. I wrote a client/Server application using
Socket object. The stand alone version ( with main) works fine. But
the applet version when I launch off netscape puts out following
message.

"Applet ClientApplet can't start: security violation: security.Couldn't
connect to 'hostname' with origin from *."

I tried launching off appletviewer and I get the following exception
messages.

Parameters: HostName "carnival" Port: 6700

sun.applet.AppletSecurityException: checkconnect.networkhost1

Any help or pointer would be highly appreciated.
