We faced the same problem few days ago. We solved by using exactly the same
IP adress in our Socket open connection. You can't use a standard URL with
Netscape because the security protection bundled in, avoiding connections to
other servers than the one from which come the applet, doesn't translate it
to an IP adress before establishing the connection.
So use the exact IP adress of your NT server in your applet and it will be OK
