I sit behind a MS Proxy Server and I can access the web via Netscape.
The trick I found is that you have to have the domain in the user 
name for authentication. And, of course, you have to point Netscape at
the proxy server port 80. This assume that the Web_proxy service is
running on MS Proxy server.

For example:

	Domain = my_dom
	user = my_id

	When the authentication box is displayed enter domain\id, in this 
	case enter my_dom\my_id.
