Strange problem!!(it is, atleast to me!!)

[P R Sen]

Although, this is not a programming or development problem instead its
an end user problem which im facing and thought programmers /
developers could help.

--
I have Win XP SP2, JRE 1.5 installed with IE. Now for certain sites my
applets dont refresh after i click them (well ofcourse i click where a
click is expected this happens when i connect using my cable
broadband connection.
(I am connected to a local provider via LAN who provides me connection
to the primary ISP). On the other hand evrything works as expected
when i use dial up connection(using the phone line). Ive tried with
many browsers and it doesn work. Ive tried everything i could. And the
same site works well at my frnds place who has the same broadband ISP
but hes on a different LAN and rest all settings are the same.

The error i see on the console- " java.lang.NullpointerException Could
not send message".

I know the error wouldn be of much use but hope the explanation of the
problem may have some solutions.

Kindly help me.

Read what SP2 is.
It just blocked all ports. And, of course you cannot esatblish any
connection.
You should manually allow XP SP2 open particular ports.
Which ones and how I don't know and don't want to know because I'll never
use this SP2.
That's my suggestion for you too.

What do you mean 'your applets'? Did you write them?

..dont refresh after i click them ..

Define 'refresh'? What are they supposed to do exactly?

* SP2 introduced a pop-up killer that is wreaking havoc
with apps. designed around pop-up windows. The 'fix' is
to redesign the app.
