With JAVA 6.0, when I hit the "OK" button after entering my username and password it gives me the message of "java.net.MalformedURLException: unknown protocol: socket", what can I do ?
JAVA 6.0 has some weird default
settings for WINXP that cause many applications like KGS to fail. The
solution for the error message is as follows:
- Open control panel, click on the JAVA icon
- Click on Network Settings
- Select the "Direct Connect" option.
- Select OK, Apply the new settings, and then select OK to exit.
This is a link to the JAVA forums where the solution is described: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5127788
Thanks to Adam for bringing that method.
