Problem: I am using InterClient and I receive the following error message: "the security manager does not allow network connections on port 3060" What does this mean? Solution: InterClient versions 1.1 and 1.5 "the security manager does not allow network connections on port 3060" means you're violating browser security by trying to establish a database connection to a server which was not the source of the java byte code, ie. the web server and the interserver host need to be on the same machine under the normal Netscape security model. This model can be changed by signing your applet, or using another JVM which does not enforce the java security model, or by using the Netscape security api (I forgot what Netscape calls this api). One common mistake that causes the security error is running an applet which you think is being downloaded from a web server, but is in fact being picked up from your local hard driver (ie. classpath). In this case, since the byte code is coming from your local disk, you won't be able to make remote connections using the browser JVM. Be sure to remove interclient from your local classpath, or unset your classpath, before starting the client browser, this way the java byte code for interclient will be downloaded from the web server, and you'll be able to make a remote connection to an interserver host on that web server.
