what's the output of

fuser -n tcp 901

Here's what happens on my server :

486dx66:/ # fuser -n tcp 901
901/tcp:              1843
486dx66:/ #

It shows, that the serer is running.

I'm using Netscape 4.79 and i 
do the following with proxies:

In the Inputbox "no proxies for domains beginning with"
i have the entry
 
server.mydomain.xy:901

example:
 
server.test.net:901

Try this with your hostname.
