Chat Applet - Sockets - Server

Question

Hello Fellows!
I hope u all r fine..
I am facing a problem in my client/sever application. The communication is Socket Based. i.e the server is using sockets and the client which is an Applet, uses sockets to communicate with the sever.
The application is working fine in the appletviewer. i.e the applet server communication, both can send and recieve messages.
BUT
When I use IE5 the client applet can send messages to the sever but is not able to read from the specified socket...
If Any one can help me out, i will be greatfull. If u need some code segment then let me know.
Looking forward for any suggestions.
Thanking You!
Ahmad.

Thanks!
for your contribution....
but now i realised that the problem is that the client socket thread is not running.
//////////////////////// Client Applet
public class Client extends Applet implements ActionListener
Thread thRead;
ClientSocket cs;
private Panel pnlHead = new Panel();
private Panel pnlMain = new Panel();
public static Vector vtrMembers;
public void init()
thRead = (Thread) new ClientSocket();
     cs = (ClientSocket) thRead;
     vtrMembers = new Vector();
thRead.start();     
cs.out.println("INI ? INI");
////////////////////////////////////////Client scoket class
public class ClientSocket extends Thread
// public static Socket sClient;
public Socket sClient;
// A character-input stream to read from the socket.
public static BufferedReader in;
// A text-output stream to write to the socket.
public PrintWriter out ;
// String to store the input from the client
String strText;
// Boolean Flag to Check the read value
public boolean bFlag = true;
public ClientSocket ()
     try
     sClient = new Socket ("Ahmed" , 4000);
     // Initializing the Input straem used to read the socket.
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(sClient.getInputStream()));
     // Initializing the Output straem used to write on the socket.
     out = new PrintWriter(sClient.getOutputStream(), true);
     catch (UnknownHostException uhe)
//     System.out.println (" Unknown Host Exception : " + uhe);
     catch (IOException ioe)
//     System.out.println (" I/O Exception : " + ioe);
public void run()
     for (;;)
     if (bFlag == true)
     Client.txtTry.setText("TRUE");
     else
     Client.txtTry.setText("False");
thRead.start() statment is executed but the thread does not stat running
because the text value is not set on the Client Applet.
