Are you using JDBC? (I'm forwarding this message to the JDBC message
in case this is a typical problem they see often.)

The error message you're getting doesn't sound like the usual Java
security exception message that you might get if you try to connect
to a machine other than the one your applet originates from. But,
Microsoft probably changed the wording of the error messages (that would
be normal.)

I think there might be a way in IE4 to configure the browser to say you'll
allow "low", "medium" or "high" access to signed applets. Of course, then
you have to sign your applet using MSFT's nonstandard and unpublished file
format for digital signatures.

The default case for applets is that they can only connect to the same
host that they came from.

I want to access Oracle 7.3 database from Applet using IE4 browser -
I have used
1) Oracle 7.3 database
2) Java Applet
3) IE4 browser
4) JDBC Oracle Thin driver (Release 7.3.4.0.0)
Error occured
1) Browser is showing - "cannot access <IP-Address><Port number>"

Please suggest me , what I have to do to solve the problem ?
(ie. how to access Oracle database from Applet using any standard
browser which supports JDK1.1.4 and above).

Thank you in advance ,
