I am new to servers and sockets but have got the whole thing working.  On a
"localhost" that is.  I have an Applet that creates a SocketServer and waits
for clients to join.  I have client Applets that join by creating Sockets to
the opened port.  This all works fine on a local host (i.e. stand-alone
computer) or under a pier-to-pier Windows98 network.  However when I try to
put this on a webserver it doesn't work.  If I try to create the
SocketServer using an InetAddress that points to www.mywebsite.com  it
doesn't work.  I get the message "Exception : could not open socket -
connection rufused".  I assume that I need to use my password and login or
something to get through the web-site security or something. (?)  I just
don't know how -- do I need to use a SocketImpl or Factory (if so... what
are they for and how does one use them <g>)?

Thanks,
