I am having probalems using the TIS Firewall with HotJava - try as I might
I can't gain access to outside machine's web servers. I am a bit confused
by the firewall configuration dialogs but think I have tried most of the 
reasonable settings.

Here is a copy of the bug report / feature request I just sent to SUN:

More info on the TIS free firewall we are using is available
at: ftp.tis.com 

1) After setting up firewall to be openmarket.com and
    setting the security dialog settings for our proxy server
    (www-proxy.openmarket.com) I can not access computers
    outside the company.

    The error is:
      Net socket exception connection timed out

2) I tried the alternate access URL for apps which don't
   understand firewalls: 

        http://www-proxy.openmarket.com:xxxx/http://java.sun.com:80/
  
   Where xxxx is the port number.
   This yielded a 403 Forbidden by Rule error from a
   cern server. I have no trouble using this approach
   with netscape.
