Applet referencing to localhost gets blocked if html is on shared drive

I have an html file with applet code like

<applet code="myapplet.class" archive="http://localhost:8080/myapplets.jar"width="350" height="350"></applet>

The applet loads fine if the html file is local to the machine but if that html file is on shared drive (windows) and if html file opened ( so that the address in the address bar is \X.X.X.X\testhtml\myapplethost.html ) then While applet is trying to load , this exception is thrown

java.lang.SecurityException: Permission denied: http://localhost:8080/myapplets.jar 

I have added both the

http://localhost:8080  and  file:\\X.X.X.X\testhtml  

to the exception list. Have lowered the security to the lowest possible (i.e Medium) in java control panel (JRE 1.7 upate 67) but this applet keeps getting blocked. Is there any settign that can help here to allow the access to applet from the shared location? Thanks
