	I have a laptop that dual boots into FreeBSD 3.2, and windoze NT 4.0 
	It uses the exact same IP address in both OS'es. Under NT I can use
	Netscape 4 to access the outside wordl via a corportae SOCKS server.

	I have configure Netscape identicly on the FreeBSD side (Just SOCKS
	host and port no.), But it does not work.

	In an effort to aid in troubleshooting this I have built the SOCKS
	port. Beleow are the results of some test I conducted using this:
