Hmmm. I'm not sure why it would not work in Netscape if it works in lynx. Can you access say www.vianet.net.au without any proxy settings? If I remember rightly netscape has some "DNS helper" or something, perhaps that is broken. I don't know how that would happen or how to fix it, just something that came to mind. I don't have any more ideas unfortunately. Hamish -- Hamish Moffatt, [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] Latest Debian packages at ftp://ftp.rising.com.au/pub/hamish.
