exactly.

essentially add the following line to your all.js file:

pref("network.security.ports.banned.override", "1080");

port 1080 is normally used by SOCKS proxy servers and wingate. I assume 
that it you setup netscape 6 in its preference to use a local SOCKS 
proxy server, then you'd be able to use port 1080 from within a local 
network. I assume 1080 is blocked by default because no one envisaged at 
the time the neeed for someone to access 1080 from outside a local network.

All just an assumption.
