Must be a browser problem. I am able to use Java plugin to view your slide show on both Linux (2.4.18-19.7.x, gcc-32, Netscape 7.1, JRE 2.4.2_13) and Windows. Try another Gallery and see if you have same problem. (e.g., http://solid77.doodle22.com/slideshow.php?mode=applet&set_albumName=nature&newlang=en_US)

I think your right although I'm not having much luck working out where the problem lies.

Have you tried to install a new Java plugin? I know that Mozilla-based Netscape needs "manual registration" for Java plugin to work; there's also a point of gcc version.

The mystery deepens. I have used firefox, epiphany and mozilla browsers and they all give the same error. I have recently upgraded java plugin and the error is the same. Konquror works however.

Mystic, and intriguing:-) Two thoughts. First, your Konqueror may be using a different plugin. Konqueror is the only one giving me trouble, and I don't know how to configure plug-in. But you can certainly find out. Second, try other browsers on well known sites with applet, and ask the Linux community.

:-) Ok, I've found the problem. It seems (for reasons that I do not understand) that when using the java plugin with mozilla, or one of its derivatives, the java plugin was using a very old proxy setting and not the proxy settings that were set in the current browser.

I was able to use the java ControlPanel utility to configure java and plugins to connect direct to the internet and disregard browser proxy settings until I can track down why Java was insisting on using a proxy setting that I have not used in any browser for the past 3 years...

Cheers
