Maybe you need to set the restrictions correct with policytool.exe. But I am not sure. When you are start the applet via the dos prompt it has an other security policy then started from a webbrowser.

Yeah, that could be it. The server is actually on a Linux box, but I'll try to look up the policytool.exe equivalent for it. Thanks for you replies ;-)

When you are using the jdbc:odbc connection it is not possible to

connect

to

a mysql on a server machine. When you are using the jdbc:mysql driver it is possible but you need to set the authorisation correct otherwise you get an autohosation error.

I'm using jdbc:mysql and I've set up the database server so that it allows me to login. I can login into the server in dos prompt, but not using my applet. Here's the exception it throws,

Cannot connect to MySQL server on 137.111.111.111:3306. Is there a MySQL server running on the machine/port you are trying to connect to? (java.security.AccessControlException)

I just connected to the server on dos before testing my applet, so the server and the port are up and running. I think this is to do with the restrictions placed on applets in general. But if you think the problem is otherwise, please let me know.

Thanks.
