I have a Java Swing app (using Skype4Java) that is attempting to communicate with a website using the Apache Commons HttpClient. When I run this app from within the IDE the HTTP communications works flawlessly. When I attempt to run the app from the command line the HTTP communication fails with a java.net.UnknownHostException

Any Ideas?

btw... I am asking this question in this forum because those who are developing Skype extras using Skype4Java might be running into the same issues that I am if their app need to communicate with an external WebApp.

The problem was Norton Firewall.

As soon as I disabled the Norton Firewall the HTTP communication worked as expected when I launch the application from the command line.
