Yes, its a java security thing. The simplest way around it might be to 
sign your applet. (when loading the applet, a dialog pops up with a yes/no 
question and some babbling about security and stuff (just press yes))

I can post you a short recipe on how to do that, if you need it. Finding 
out how to do the signing procedure by searching the net was far from 
trivial, at least for me, but the signing itself is actually quite easy. 
(I'm sure there is at least one good doc about applet signing out there, 
but it seems to have drowned in all the over-explained articles 
written by all the word-sprouting java tech-writers.)
