Netscrape uses Socks4. You must enable ALL authentication in your socks5.conf.
If you
didn't, it is probably failing on an authentication error. One way to check is
to
run socks5 in console mode with debugging turned on (socks5 -s -d). It should d
isplay
a failed message at the point where authentication is done. There is probably a
message along the lines of 'Socks4: no authentication method found'
