If you run a firewall (like zonealarm) then you need to allow java.exe to run as a server. You also need to allow Toolkit1_1.exe to access this server.

The Zone Alarm documentation should cover how to configure this in Zone Alarm.

I believe the tech support / documentation people are working on doco for common firewalls. (XpSp2, Nortons, ZoneAlarm, etc..). However, that's a different department so can't give specific details.

However, I aslo believe it's a good idea to learn how to you your chosen firewall and be able to manage this stuff yourself. Not trying to be smart arse, but the security of a PC is such a important thing it can only be achieved properly with understand of the problem and knowledge of the tools. A lot of people using firewalls have them incorrectly configured and are still suseptable to attack.
