130942 2003-03-26 02:27:00 Hi,

I have a very weird problem here.

I went to java.sun.com to get the latest copy of Java Plugin for Internet Explorer, it automatically detected my old version and started to download the new version. Everything was good until the software was installed. Now Java applets no longer load in my browser (IE). A red cross pops up in the top left corner of the Java applet canvas area indicating failed initialation. When I open my Java console, it lists a host of exceptions that I don't understand.

Then I asked my friend to do the same thing. Detect, download and install. Everything went perfectly smoothly on his computer. No errors whatsoever.

I am using Windows 2000 (my friend - Win98) on my com. Does anybody have any suggestions on this one?

130947 2003-03-26 06:22:00 Hi,

Thanks for all your reponses . I got it fixed now .

The problem was not with the plug-in but the LAN . The Connection settings prevented me from executing the applets i guess .

In Internet Option -> Connection settings -> LAN settings, there is an option for you to use a proxy server for the LAN . Since I need to access my electrical engineering server with specific HTTP and FTP settings, this option has to be ticked . However, enabling this option prevents me from loading Java applets (hence the exception in the SocketImpl class) .

Oh well, the problem is solved now, but it's just that everytime i want to access the elec server, i will have to re-enable this option .

Thank you for all your help again :) .
