The proxy should be transparent to the Java application -- the applet
shouldn't need to know anything.

Sounds like Java isn't correctly picking up the proxy settings. You say
you're using firefox, does it work OK with IE? It's possible your firefox
proxy settings are set differently to the IE ones and Java is using the
wrong ones. The way Java figures out what to do is just a little hacky.
