My test results show the connection to the server over the internet to work fine; however, there's significant latency when establishing the socket connection with a local server: 

mysocket = new Socket(address, portnum)); // delay occurs here

The problem seems to be related to reverse DNS lookup. But I'm not sure and it does not occur with a desktop PC. Because we are somewhat able to workaround the problem by assigning an IP address for the local server and add its address mapping to our DNS server, which requires the wireless access point (Linksys) to be connected to the internet. With this configuration, the iPAQ can then access the local server without delay. However, the solution we're targeting is the ability for the PocketPC java applet to open a socket to a local server without connection to the internet. 

Would appreciate any hints or insights to this problem.

Thanks,

<P>Hi, everyone. </P>
<P>Wondering if anyone has any experience in working with opening sockets on a PocketPC (iPAQ). </P>
<P>Here, I have an applet that I'd like to serve to a Pocket Internet Explorer browser. This is possible with a plug-in called Jeode (fully compatible with the PersonalJava specification), which enables the browser to run java applets on a PocketPC.</P>
<P>From the applet, I'd like to either establish a socket connection with an internet server or with a server on a local network using wireless networking.</P>
