1. Netscape 3.0b4 DNS lookup failure, then it works.
I don't recall having this problem in previous Netscape versions
through 3.0b3 in a.out.
I am running 3.0b4 on a completely separate ELF'ed system with kernel
2.0, modules-1.3.57 and patched ppp-2.2.0e set up to autologin with
request-route.
If I load Netscape with its default home page, it gives me a DNS error
that it could not locate 'home.netscape.com'. Yet as soon as I clear
the error window and enter 'http://home.netscape.com/', it takes me
there without any trouble.
Likewise if I start without a home page and then click on a help topic
or new document template/wizard. As soon as I clear the DNS error
window, I can click on the same thing again and it works.
It seems to take slightly longer than a minute to call, log in and
negotiate the PPP. I tried setting the sleep statement in
request-route to 90 seconds, but I still get the DNS error about a
minute into the call (when it failed to connect during a first call,
the DNS error appeared a minute into the second automatic attempt).
Anyone else having this problem or know how to resolve it?
Does Options/Editor Preferences work for anyone (Netscape totally
disappears on my system)?
