I'm trying to connect to a DB external to my LAN (LAN1), that is inside another LAN (LAN2) via a web browser (A Java Applet done by me). I'm using JDBC and SQLServer 2000.
When I test the application inside LAN2 everything work great. I launch the browser and the application works. When I launch the browser inside LAN2, everything works until it tryes to connect to the DB (that is on a server inside LAN1) at that time I get a null pointer exception and it won't connect.

Perhaps I'm missing some point here, do I need to configure something else in order for this to work?

TIA
