When your Browser is configured to use a proxy, you have to disable it for 'localhost'. In Netscape you can do this under "Options" -> "Network Preferences" -> "Proxies" -> "Manual Proxy Configuration (View)" -> "No Proxy for:". Please note that inetd needs to be running to view manual pages. Make sure that the entry "START_INETD" in /etc/rc.config is set to "yes".
