Do you control the server? or are you trying to use a site managed by someone else?
The applet page include the following
<OBJECT ....
codebase="http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/autodl/jinstall-1_4-win32.cab
...
The .cab URL is used to automatically download java.
If the cab url in the applet page is wrong you will get an error.
You can avoid this problem by downloading and installing java 1.4 as opposed to relying on the auto-dowload feature.">
