My good grief; Applets !   Haven't done that this decade :o)

You will first need to establish a fair amount of Permissions for the JVM,
since by default only socket client connection to the host the applet
originated from is allowed.
Secondly, you will need some way to transfer the Stub from one of the clients
to the other, and you have a at least a couple of ways to do that;
1. Run the java.rmi.naming in one the the hosts.
2. Serialize the Stub and transfer its binary either by upload to another
server, by email or some other transport mechansim that the other can pick
up.

But again, most importantly, you need to figure out how to increase the
permissions in the sandbox.

P.S. Why don't you just run JNLP ?
