Reading the JDC book
(http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/JDCBook/appA.html) I
think I have pretty much figured out why connections get refused.  They need
a policy file that gives permissions to a SocketServer or Socket.  When
running in a browser where does the Policy file need to be though?  On the
Server itself?

The book reads :

>> When running an applet in a browser, the browser looks for the user and
system
>> policy files to find the permissions the applet needs to access local
system
>> resources on behalf of the user who downloaded the applet

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Thanks,
