Hi. For the past few months or so, I've been getting an error whenever I attempt to use a java applet.
I'm getting this error on every browser I use, and I get the error occasionally in linux, too. The java applet loads for roughly 5 seconds or so, then it stops and I get two error messages, stating that an exception occurred (java.io.EOFException).
This seems to happen regardless of what website I'm using. Going to the website shows I'm running java 6 update 20, and I get no error. Googling the error turns up nothing useful - I'm not a java developer, so most of the results don't apply to me at all.
My question is this. What's causing this error, and what can I do to fix whatever issue is causing it?
