Problem running an applet

[Manu Herrero Manu Herrero]

I have done an applet that is using JAi technology. I'm testing this applet with a main function and is runing properly, but when I try to run in Navigator 4.7 appears an error:
oad: class VisualApplet.class not found.
java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: java.io.IOException: open HTTP connection failed.

The VisualApplet.class has a package net.visualapplet, visualapplet.jar has this class and other classes.
Any idea to run the applet from Netscape 4.7?

As a trouble-shooting step, trying running it with IE or Opera with the latest Java plug-in. If you get the same exception, you know it's something on your end. If you don't, then you can start to suspect some environmental cause, maybe something in the Netscape browser that doesn't like what you're doing.
