and what error are you getting?

[jwenting]

I guess it's a security error and that the OP doesn't understand about applet security restrictions, an issue which is quite simple to understand really but does require reading the documentation and maybe doing a bit of research (all the information if publicly and easily available so I won't copy it here).

and what error are you getting?

it is showing two errors, that is in front of each of TheServer() and TheClient() and prompting that an exception must be thrown
