samba - May 2002 - Stupid Newbie: can't connect localhost:901 - help

I've installed the rpm's and everything seems to be
set up fine.  I've been through many documents (even
the one on redhat that says i must change localhost to
127.0.0.1 in one of the config files
(/etc/xinetd.d/swat).  When i direct mozilla to
http://localhost:901 I get, "The connection was
refused when attempting to contact localhost:901

I think maybe that something is not properly setup in
my browser, but i've tried: 
no proxy for:
localhost       //added by me to see if it would make
any difference...but it didn't

I'm sure there is something really small and stupid
that i've forgotten, and i'll feel like an idiot when
someone tells me, but i've spent WAY TOO LONG trying
to figure this out on my own.  Thanks in advance
Carl

Check your /etc/xinetd.d/swat file, make sure
 disable         = no

restart xinetd : /etc/init.d/xinetd restart

totally disable your proxy in ie...
ie is sensitive when adding a port, try http://localhost:901/

If it doesn't work, check out your hosts.allow, hosts.deny
or maybe ipchains/iptables...

good luck!

I changed disable to "no" as you suggested and
restarted xinetd...still nothing

Mozilla is set to "Direct Connection to the Internet"

I also looked in hosts.allow and hosts.deny and there
were no entries in either of these.  I tried adding:
localhost
to hosts.allow, then I logged out since I didn't know
how to make sure that this took affect.  And this did
nothing.  I'm not sure that logging out was good
enough , maybe i should try rebooting...or if there is
a command that will do this then great.
I hope this helps someone help me.
Thanks
Carl

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.
