Anyone seen this one?

Applet is OK with NS 2.0...but with 2.01:

(a) Still OK if web server <-> NS 2.01 is not through a firewall.

(b) If web server <-> NS 2.01 is through a firewall:
        Security Violation
        Untested Host Translation:
        java.net.UnkownHostException:<host>

    Where <host> is the web server.

In the HTML, 'codebase=/path/' and 'codebase=http://host/path' give the same
results.

Cheers,
Steve
