Remote applet access problem Mark Gilmore Fri, 14 Apr 2000 11:39:15 -0400

Hi all,
I am having a problem trying to connect to ECS remotely:

When I enter this www address (for a LOCAL connection), all works fine:
	http://localhost:3000/LCL.HTM
In LCL.HTM, we have:
	<APPLET NAME="Ecsio" CODE="Ecsio.class">
	<param name="ECS_HOST" value="localhost">
	<param name="ECS_PORT" value="3000">
	</applet>

BUT when I enter THIS, I get the errors below:
	http://216.80.145.31:3000/RMT.HTM
In RMT.HTM, we have:
	<APPLET NAME="Ecsio" CODE="Ecsio.class">
	<param name="ECS_HOST" value="http://216.80.145.31">
	<param name="ECS_PORT" value="3000">
	</applet>
http://216.80.145.31 is the IP address of my www connection.
If I enter "http://216.80.145.31:3000", ECS returns it's "home"
page (as expected).

I get the feeling that I am missing something obvious.
I note that the addr in message below does NOT include the port #
(3000).
Any ideas ? Thanks.

Ecsio:init:ecs_host=http://216.80.145.31:3000
Ecsio:connect:get socket
netscape.security.AppletSecurityException: security.Couldn't resolve IP
