Try typing the address correctly. There should be two /'s in the address.

You should have this in inetd.conf:
swat    stream  tcp     nowait.400 root    /usr/local/samba/bin/swat swat -a

You should have this in /etc/services:
swat		901/tcp		swat	# Samba Web Administration Tool

And, you should restart inetd.
Note: The -a starts swat without checking for a password. Very insecure.

If you still can't connect, think about firewall issues.
