    Subject: Trying to access sockets from an applet

I'm trying to create a demo showing how we can attach a java applet to a
local sockets server application containing some of our AI software. I
want to be able to launch a browser (Netscape, or if necessary MS
Internet Explorer). I've created a signed applet using the Duke entity
and certificate, and I want to bring my applet up through netscape, from
a local html file, and have it converse with my sockets server app which
is also running on my local machine. I would expect that it would
prompt me about whether Duke (or my applet) is trusted. Instead, it
does nothing. When I browse the java console I get a message indicating
it did not have the privilege to connect to the network. Can you tell
me what I'm doing wrong and what I need to do to make it work?

Thanks,
Dan Binney
