Re: [LI] Netscape problem

[<venu@xxxxxxxx>]

If you are on a LAN, you need to set either the proxy settings in
netscape, if you are using a proxy, or else, specify the ip address of
your gateway in your network configuration and then mention the ip address
of your nameserver in your /etc/resolv.conf file. The same thing (enrty in
the file) has to be done in case of a dialup connection, too.
