Hmm, how did you start netscape? If you run it w/o network you are
probably to display a local file. You should run it like:
netscape file:<absolute path of some dir or file>
Otherwise it will try to connect to your or Netscape's home page and fail
resolving the DNS name (hmm, a proper DNS setup should still timeout after
several minutes).
I never used/noticed the start blank setup, in theory it should work, but
I'd try it with file: nayway.
