Hi, As clovis said, it's just a dsn stuff. When you buy a domain, you really by the <.somewebhost.com>. Then you add some hosts (aliases) to the servers (or services) existing in your domain. "www" means that it's a http server "ftp" means that it's a ftp server ..... most of times, you have a local rea network and only one computer connected to internet (for security). On this computer you can have a firewall .... and a DNS Server. INTERNET YOUR LOCAL NETWORK AREA | VISIBLE | HIDDEN | | | | COMP1 COMP2 COMP3.somewebhost.com <---- MAIN-SERVER | 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.3 (domain name) | (62.X.X.X) | (www) (ftp) (mail) | | the main server, which has a "route-able" ip address (visible over internet) will redirect browsers to comp1 if https://stg.io/ is hit, to COMP2 if ftp.somewebhost.com... it's just dsn redirecting. The client will only see one ip address, 62.X.X.X

Hi mongos, I think you already have starded learning Applet. I hope you are enjoying the power of Java. Before going further, it's important for you to understand something about Java. I think you should already have read about it .... but if not, it's time. When talking about Java, you will often ear about Java 1 and Java 2. I'm not going in the details. Java 2 introduced the Swing which is a set of classes (API-Application Programming Interface) for gui building. Beforce, java coders used to work with AWT (you should read about all this). AWT use heavy components (heavy to draw) and Swing came with light weight components. You will often see 'J' before some classes like Applet end JApplet. That's where i wanted to come. Applet is not longer used. Instead, you will have to use JApplet. So if you are still working with Applet, update your code and read about differences. One thing is very important also when you use Applet (JApplet). The security side. If you dont "sign" your applet, the browser can block its running. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ It's so cool to code and most of time we don't take enough time to read before coding. Read first, design all you wan to do on this cool and so usefull white paper, then start coding. Good luck with the coffee!
