Don't use the ECS_HOST parameter; instead, use:

getCodeBase().getHost()

to obtain the name or IP address of the server that you can connect to. 
This is the only one that you are supposed to be able to establish a 
connection to. getCodeBase is a method in the Applet object that starts 
everything.

The ECS_PORT parameter should work, I think.
