Applet socket problem in client-server, urgent!

Question

Dear All:
I have implemented a client server teamwork environment. I have managered to get the server running fine. The server is responsible for passing messages between clients and accessing Oracle database using JDBC. The client is a Java Applet. The code is like the following. The problem is when I try to register the client, the socket connection get java.security.AccessControlException: access denied(java.net.SocketPermission mugca.its.monash.edu.
au resolve)
However, I have written a Java application with the same socket connection method to connect to the same server, it connects to the server without any problem. Is it because of the applet security problem? How should I solve it? Very appreciate for any ideas.
public class User extends java.applet.Applet implements ActionListener, ItemListener
public void init()
Authentication auth = new Authentication((Frame)anchorpoint);
if(auth.getConnectionStreams() != null) {
ConnectionStreams server_conn = auth.getConnectionStreams();
// Authenticates the user and establishes a connection to the server
class Authentication extends Dialog implements ActionListener, KeyListener {
// Object holding information relevant to the server connection
ConnectionStreams server_conn;
final static int port = 6012;
// Authenticates the user and establishes connection to the server
public Authentication(Frame parent) {
// call the class Dialog's constructor
super(parent, "User Authentication", true);
setLocation(parent.getSize().width/3, parent.getSize().height/2);
setupDialog();
// sets up the components of the dialog box
private void setupDialog() {
// create and set the layout manager
//Create a username text field here
//Create a password text field here
//Create a OK button here
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
authenticateUser();
dispose();
// returns the ConnectionStreams object
public ConnectionStreams getConnectionStreams() {
return(server_conn);
// authenticates the user
private void authenticateUser() {
Socket socket;
InetAddress address;
try {
// open socket to server
System.out.println("Ready to connect to server on: " + port);
socket = new Socket("mugca.its.monash.edu.au", port);
address = socket.getInetAddress();
System.out.println("The hostname,address,hostaddress,localhost is:" + address.getHostName() + ";\n" +
address.getAddress() + ";\n" +
address.getHostAddress() + ";\n" +
address.getLocalHost());
catch(Exception e) {
displayMessage("Error occured. See console");
System.err.println(e);
                              e.printStackTrace();
}

Hi, there:
Thanks for the help. But I don't have to configure the security policy. Instead, inspired by a message in this forum, I simply upload the applet to the HTTP server (mugca.its.monash.edu.au) where my won server is running. Then the applet is download from the server and running fine in my local machine.
