I have disabled nscd now, it has helped with resolving some URLs. I have a couple of different things going on: 1. I try to ping www.netscape.com, one of the problem URLs. I get a number (5-10) of different IPs. Only one of the IPs returns packets, the rest just hang. Getting the "good" IP seems to occur randomly (no discernable pattern). 2. This problem only occurs when using my off-work ISP. My work ISP works fine. The work ISP worked with nscd running. 3. My browsers (all of them) sometimes get the correct IP. The problem ones all seem to redirect to another IP which times out. Thanks, Jim David Porter wrote:

This may not be helpful, but you could disable nscd. That is what I did when I could not reach certain pages which I could from other computers. It worked for me, but when you say,
The usual behaviour is that the page starts loading and never finishes.
I am not sure what you mean. Does the address resolve, and the page start loading but display no content? For me, the host could not be resolved, so I didn't even get that far.
