Is it right that you are running netscape on a different machine to
leafnode?
I think by default it blocks all access except access from the same
machine (so people out there don't use your machine to spam).
If you haven't changed your hosts.allow to include an entry from your
workstation (like leafnode: 123.123.123.123), you probably want to.
