The Applet security model says that an applet can only use network
resources to and from the server that the applet came from.  So, your
applet will either need to be signed to make arbitrary connections, or
it will need a proxying service at the server that the applet came from.

I'd suggest that you make it into a java web start application (which
still has applet security model restrictions), or a full blown java
application which can connect arbitrarily based on the security policy
that the JVM is configured with.
