Laurent,
We've managed a socket connection from an applet running in Netscape 2.0b5
back to the originating host. We had to do two things:
- use a full host and domain name when creating the socket:
Socket theSocket = new Socket("myhost.domain.name", 80);
- use THE SAME host and domain name when referring to the Web page from
Netscape:
http://myhost.domain.name/theDirectory/thePage.html
For this to work, your DNS must be able to cope with translating
myhost.domain.name.
It appears that you CANNOT use just the hostname "myhost".
Good luck!
Mike
