Java IOException error when running from DOS box

I have a Java program that creates a Socket (Socket s = new Socket(servers[userNo],25);) and this ran OK from a DOS box using jdk1.6.0_01 but since updating to jdk1.6.0_07 and recompiling it runs OK from TextPad but produces an IOException when run from a DOS box

what does exception.getMessage() say

The exception is connection refused: connect

The problem was caused by the Norton firewall.
I have sorted it but I am still puzzled as to why it should work OK from TextPad and not from a DOS box.

I have been working on this, let us say for the purpose of clarifiying: "uh, non-obvious" It can get deep in a hurry.
