If you launch the applet from "carnival", then that is the only host
your applet can connect to.

For a description of applet restrictions, see
http://java.sun.com/sfaq
http://java.sun.com/security

For your applet to make other connections, it needs to be considered
trusted. In 1.1.x, there are 2 ways to do this

1) install the applet on a directory on CLASSPATH

2) sign the applet with an identity marked as trusted in your identity database

For more info on signing, see http://java.sun.com/security/signExample
and http://java.sun.com/security/usingJavakey.html
