Java Applet not workin on web server

Hi,
I have tried to use a java applet on a website.  A small word game.  I have downloaded it and unzipped it and it works fine on my own computer under localhost.
But when I upload it to my web server it won't work.  

Is there anything obvious that I am missing?

I tried the link above and saw a different error that seems to point to an image that might be missing.  Are there any files that were on the lcoalhost that didn't get transferred to the server.  The class files seem to be ok (applet loaded for me and started to run) but failed with a null pointer exception when trying to render an image.

There was no image in the downloaded applet when unzipped.

But it was downloaded as a zipped file, everything should have been in there should it not?

Got it figured out.  I'd never used that java console before and when i run it with different setting displaying everything.  There was an error when loading a .dat file.
So i was thinking maybe that is restricted on my web server.
So I logged into my hosting control panel and under MIME Types I added the .dat extension and it now works.
Thanks for pointing out the Java console for me.
