Hi,

I am trying to connect to a database through a signed and trusted applet. The database is on my computer, and when running the Applet in IE6 on my computer (I have latest java1.5.0), it works fine. However, when running the applet on other computers on the network, or over the internet, I get an SQLConnect exception due to java.net.Connect Connection refused. I am fairly confident that this isn't a security issue, as the computers I am trying the applet out on all have my certificate trusted and given AllPermission in the policy file. Is there anything else which could be causing this? My connection url looks like: "jdbc:mysql:myipaddress//" is there anything wrong with that so it would run on my computer and no-one elses?

Thanks for any help in advance, Joe
