    Error opening Socket
    ION: Setting up HTTP Connection
This is _not_ an error. It simply means that the applet was unable to connect directly to the server and will try using the Tunnel Broker to connect.

    ION: Unable to connect using sockets java.io.IOException:
    Security Violation ION:
    Setting up HTTP Connection netscape.security.
    AppletSecurityException: security.class from local disk

This error is not the same as the 'error' that appears when we connect to the external site from inside RSI.Discussion:
The problem is that Netscape is picking up the ION classes installed on the user's machine instead of downloading them from RSI's Web site. Applet security will only let applets connect to the machine that they came from. Since they were loaded from the local machine, they will not be allowed to connect to RSI. The solution to this problem is to remove the path to the ION files from the user's CLASSPATH variable so the local ION files are not picked up by Netscape.Solution:
