Re: Java Applet Never loads (please Help)

[HELP Indore <dean@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

This is because you are using a proxy. I guess it must be squid. The Java
applets wont run through proxy because they try to access the destination
server(e.g. yahoo) directly from the machine they work on. This is not
allowed by the proxy as the machines cannot directly send packets. In case
of a proxy the packets are filtered according to request depending on a
particular protocol (e.g. http or ftp) thats why u have to specify the
proxy server address and a port of the proxy server to use for each
service u want to access from the client machines.

You can solve this problem by using IP masquarading. We have a similar
setup at our institution. I installed Linux using the PCQ redhat 5.2 CD
and the pcqupdt script did everything that was needed. U can get hold of
 that issue CD and edit the pcqupdt file to see what all things are done
by that script to enable gatewaying to the Internet. If u cant. I'll post
the details tomorrow, as I dont have access to the CD right now.

Hope this helps.
