Ask the question then find the answer, arggg.... sorry:

This in the mindterm faq showed me the way:

#  I can't connect to the host 'hostname1' from the applet (though I can
connect to 'hostname2', which incidentally is the same host as the web-server
serving the applet).

You can connect to arbitrary hosts from the applet only if you are running a
signed applet, or have disabled the security restrictions put on applets by
the browser/appletviewer.

I set up the site to be a trusted site and configured the java permissions in
IE and away we went.

Thanks anyway.
