Java 2 vs. Netscape security model

Hi, new user here, downloaded and installed Java Virtual Machine plug-in, 1.4.2-b28, tonight. Added Java capability to IE 6.0.28. Running XP.

Encountered a problem with a URL that had worked with Microsoft VM on another machine on my home network. Found the Java Console, which gave the following message: "Netscape security model is no longer supported. Please migrate to the Java 2 security model instead."

Questions: 1) Might this be the source of the problem I encountered?

2) Is the Java 2 security model something I have to download, or is it some setting in IE?

That is, how do I migrate?

I am not a developer, just a frustrated consumer!

I have the exact same problem. What I suspect, is the applet itself, being somewhat noncompliant with the 'new', as of JRE1.3.x I think, security model.

My problem is that I use Linux at home, with Firefox 1.0.7, and JRE 1.5_05.

It shows up as a Netscape 5 browser type, and that does get the site to start a different applet, than the IE6 would..

I know! it's not the exact same issue, but the problem is the same..
