Is there a firewall in place? If so you need to tell netscape about a socks 
server, do that under network options under proxy servers. You also need to 
have your Primary DNS entry be a DNS server that sees both sides of the 
firewall.

Microsoft uses GATEWAY instead of ROUTER. Most everything else is OK. You 
have to remember that you need to have seperate IP addresses and names that 
resolv back to you to be able to use a socks firewall server.
