Are you running from a UNIX machine? If not, this probably won't
help much. :-/
While this may not be your problem, my knee-jerk answer would be
that you're trying to bind to a port number which is less than 1024;
you have to be running as root to do that. Does it give you the
same error if you try, say, port 2000? Try it and see if the
message changes to "unable to connect" or something like that.
Since you stress that it's an application and not an applet :-),
the security restrictions there should not be applicable.
Just my 2 cents,
Jon
