My suggestion would be to drop Netscape 4.X .. it's out of date total crap. I would suggest using Mozilla 0.9.2 which is just damn nice. You appear to have a pretty decent amount of power in your machine...so it shouldn't be a speed issue with you.

I have to say that under Kde 2.2 Alpha Netscape seems not bad at all. It looks good [but then it didn't look that bad for me before] it even runs better. It still fails to render some sites correctly but that might be related to what the sites are doing. Nick

My default page is yahoo..it works fine. It's most likely a bug though..since this is 0.9.2..but every release seems fix about 25-30 bugs or more. I think that you should submit this, but check the site before hand. It could be something wrong and they could fix it with 0.9.3 or 1.0. :) -- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org ----- The only argument for the superiority of Windows over UNIX is that General Protection Fault outranks Colonel Panic.

Check your /etc/hosts file and make sure it has an entry like: 127.0.0.1 localhost in it.. that way "localhost" - which isn't a valid domain name - resolves to your local machine.

Yp its there. Chris

I have on the other hand found quite a few pages that make Netscape do it's infamous disappearing act, but stay running. Mozilla 0.9.0 - 0.9.2 have absolutely delighted me. I don't use anything else..I do my banking with it..surf the web with it..and I have debated whether or not to start using it at work to do email. It's just damn nice. It's a bit bigger then Netscape 4.X codewise and on some machines it's a bit slower to start..but other then the slightly slower starts on older machines. I can think of anything bad I can say about it. By the time 1.0 comes out..I think we shall see a world class Linux browser. We are no longer 2nd class citizens when it comes to browsers.
