Can anyone help??

I frequently have netscape (or is is actually Win98) hang...about once
per day. I may or may not be doing anything but suddenly netscape is
unable to access anything over my cable modem. If I type ping in a
dosbox that program also hangs and nothing appears on the dos screen.
Unloading and then restarting Netscape has no affect, still can't even

do a complete reboot all is cop acetic, but who wants to do a cold
reboot?? Does anyone know what has to be reset so I can work around
this hang without restarting my machine? If there is a way to avoid the
problem I'd even be happier.

I've seen something similar to this. Usually, running winicpfg.exe on the
host machine, releasing the link through the nic you are using, then
renewing it will solve the problem.

On the other hand, netscape can be flakey. Try using ie5 or another
browser for a couple of days to see if you get the same problems.
