Hi Dario,
I included the port # in the host name, but got a similar result:
	netscape.security.AppletSecurityException: security.
	Couldn't resolve IP for host 216.80.145.31:3000 or for localhost.

BTW, the call that is failing is SOCKET() below:

	String	ecs_host = "216.80.145.31:3000";
	int	ecs_port = 0;
	Socket	cs;
	...
	try {cs = new Socket(ecs_host, ecs_port);}

But the ACTUAL failure is in a GetByName() call,
as performed by Socket().
