connecting over LAN problems

Hi, I'm trying to get a sample program going over a small desktop - laptop lan (both running windows 98se and named "desktop" and "laptop" on the network).

The program works fine when both server and client are on the same computer, but when I copy the client files to my laptop and run from there, I cannot connect, and get the following message:

java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.net.SocketPermission Desktop resolve)

here are some code snippets:

policy file on both server and client:

grant {

permission java.net.SocketPermission "*:1024-65535","connect,accept";

permission java.net.SocketPermission "*:80", "connect";

};

server:

Naming.rebind("//Desktop/helloObj", theRemoteObj);

client:

RmIntfc c1 = (RmIntfc)Naming.lookup("rmi://Desktop/helloObj");

I've seen similiar questions about setting up RMI over a LAN on the forums, but there weren't any corresponding answers! I'd like to try the simplest approach, ie, no webserver.

Thanks for any help!!
