Apptivity cannot connect to host <hostname> on port 8200
This error came be seen with different web browsers. This error
is displayed when the call to create a new Java Socket object fails.
Usually this occurs due to a security exception.
With the Netscape browser, this can be corrected by making the
following modification to the prefs.js file which should be located
in c:\Program Files\Netscape\Users\<your id>
add the line:
user_pref("signed.applets.low_security_for_local_classes",true);
As this is a generated file, updating your version of Netscape, or
modifying your preferences in any way will cause this line to be
removed, therefore you will need to re-add it. There is a utility
available at the following location to modify this file automatically.

Another reason you may see this error is if the server name cannot be
resolved due to DNS configuration problems or DNS server response
problems.
