To enable java applets to load into a browser page when connecting to the internet via a Windows 2000 network from behind a firewall, you need to ensure that the SOCKS proxy option in the Network preference pane is not selected. Java appears to do its own thing with SOCKS, and having the SOCKS proxy selected works to block the java applet loading. This works in Safari under 10.3 (Panther). I did not discover this answer until I had upgraded from Jaguar and it may also apply to Jaguar.
