You're right; there is a parameter in the appletviewer's configuration that can negate the sandbox security model, allowing network connections to others machines to be made. I'd say more, but I've never used it... > >Did you use the same version of the appletviewer on all platforms? > > I was wrong about it running on Solaris.

Cafe probably also disables this setting for development (although if you didn't turn it off, that's odd. It should default to using the security model). I noticed your use of 'non-gui applet' before... anything that is run by the command-line 'java' is an application and not subject to security barriers i.e. are you sure you're only trying applets? (public TestClass extends java.applet.Applet?) And nothing would surprise me on NT (I'd personally steer clear of any M$ platform for Java development, not only for technical reasons, but also because of their stance on the Java platform in general). ********************************************************************** Joe Shevland - Horizon Technologies International Email: joe.shevland@horizonti.com We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars - Oscar Wilde ********************************************************************** To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-java" in the body of the message
