    Subject: AppletSecurityException in Netscape browser

Hello everyone,

can some please help me with a security problem. I'm trying to make a
JDBC
connection
via an applet and get the message in my browser Java console (Netscape
4.05) :

netscape.security.AppletSecurityException: security: Couldn't connect
to 'medusa-4' with origin from ''. I know that socket connections are
usually
forbidden to other computers unless the class files come from them. But
I can't
believe
that it is a common necessarity to set up one's database server as a web
server as
well.

Can I circumvent my problem by switching off the security mechanism of
Netscape ?
There is a JavaScript command that should do this if executed in
preferences.js
(in the Netscape base directory):
user_pref("signed.applets.local_classes_have_30_powers",true),
but that doesn't work for me.

TIA,
Joachim
