Problem with RMI

[Abhijat Vatsyayan]

Hi!
I am trying to use rmi from an applet. The application works fine but when I try to use it through an applet, it does not work. I start the rmiregistry and the server on the machine on which we have the web server running but it still doesnt  seem to work. When I try nslookup www.icemt.iastate.edu  it seems to work fine  but of course there is no IP address for icemt.iastate.edu because there is no such machine.
I can open socket connections to the machine from the applet and write my own classes that will let provide me with the "rmi type" functionality but I certainly will like to use rmi.
PS:Sockets work fine .
Anybody has any idea ?
