socket connection in a .NET Applet (Windowsformcontrol hosted on browser)

Question

Hi, I have created a .Net Applet that connects to an FTP server via sockets. The problem is that the connection to the socket takes a long time (at around 100+ seconds). I tried creating an implementation of the FTP class in a Windows Form and I got connected faster (roughly 1-3 seconds). Are there issues when connecting/opening sockets in .Net Applet? sample code public Boolean Login() { // Create socket m_objClientSocket = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream, ProtocolType.Tcp); // Create IPEndpoint IPEndPoint ep = new IPEndPoint(Dns.Resolve(m_sRemoteHost).AddressList[0], m_iRemotePort); try { // Connect Socket takes a long time in applet m_objClientSocket.Connect(ep); } catch(Exception ex) { MessageString = m_sReply; throw new IOException("Cannot connect to the remote server. Error: " + ex.Message); } .......
