I can't seem to get any java applets to work. I think that the problem is somehow related to a Proxy Server whatever that is. For example, I try to do puzzles requiring java on Jigzone.com and it has a troubleshooting guide which includes a bubble simulation test...and i get a message: "alt="Your browser understands the <APPLET> tag but isn't running the applet, for some reason." Your browser is completely ignoring the <APPLET> tag!" I browse around their FAQs somemore and see something about configuring a proxy server or something.

I do know that I have Java downloaded, so I'm not sure where to start.

Please help
