jBoxPNG requires sixlegs, which is in the jBox.zip distribution file. 
And modify your <applet> parameters as follows:
         code="jBoxPNG.class"
         archive="jBoxPNG.jar,png.jar"
See http://mapserver.gis.umn.edu/doc40/jbox-howto.html for more 
discussion of this.

However, if you are using JRE 1.4, then you can simply use jBox (not 
jBoxPNG) and skip sixlegs. Sixlegs is a set of classes that provided PNG 
support for old JRE's, but PNG is supported in (at least) Sun's JRE 1.4.
