Re: need help Connect failure in an applet

An applet is only permitted to connect back to the originating server
IP that served the HTTP request.  If you try to connect to a different
address, it will fail with a permissions exception.  127.0.0.1 is the
localhost loopback address, and would not work from a remote host
either.
