mindterm web applet over proxy

Fri, 27 Sep 2002 16:50:36 -0400 (EDT)

I've been playing with mindterm and set up a non-commercial mindterm 2.1
applet on my personal webserver at home.  The problem I'm having is that
where I work (and was testing from) uses a proxy server to get to the
outside world, and I get the error "Error connecting to my.host.here,
reason: -> cannot connect to "proxy.host.here"".
None of the mindterm documentation gives a resolution for this problem,
and googling hasn't helped me.  The destination server (my.host.here) is
the same as my personal webserver, so its trying to get to the same ip #
that served the applet.  I can also connect to the machine from work,
through the proxy, with mindterm when installed on my work machine.
Other details include, the machine at home is on a personal intranet and
connections to the outside world are handled through a separate firewall
box.  (The firewall has a hole punched in it for this, though, as you can
probably guess from my ability to connect with the installed mindterm
client.)
The html file with the code is:

<html>
<head></head>
<body>
<applet archive="mindterm.jar" code=com.mindbright.application.MindTerm>
<param name=sepframe value="true">
<param name=server value="my.host.here">
</applet>
</body>
</html>

The applet initialises properly and doesn't seem to have any other issues.

Suggestions?
