I fought with this one as well -- got no help from Netscape tech
support, but there is an answer.  socks respects the rules given
in the sock.cnf file located in the windows directory -- the default
is to socksify everything, but you can specify hosts (or entire
networks) to contact directly.  The file format is simple, but I don't
have an example with me...

Hope that helps...
