The fix for 4492921 socks proxy is working. This is a new minor bug introduced from the fix. 

Step to reproduce:
- On Windows 2000, in Internet Explorer setting, connection tab, LAN setting:
  check 'use a proxy sever...'. uncheck 'Bypass proxy server...'.
- Then click 'Advanced' button. uncheck 'Use the same proxy server for all
  protocols'.
- In Socks proxy setting, enter any host or port value. Say, 
  comanche.sfbay.sun.com, port is 1080. This setting is ok but the real port on
  comanche is not open.
- Click ok and close internet properties setting.
- Enable Java Console.
- Now start IE and load any applet.
- The applet could not be loaded. If you check the Console message, you will
  have the following exception log:

The same exception will occur when you load JWS application.

JVM is getting connection refused exception is correct. However, this should not
block loading of applet or application. Further more, in IE property setting, I
checked the button 'bypass proxy for local address', I still get this exception.

Justification: JVM should not solely rely on socks proxy setting.
