You mean that you added the IP addresses of your news
and mail servers in your /etc/hosts file? I have a
problem where when I try to subscribe to a newsgroup,
it pretends to (or really does) try to get the list of
groups. During this time (minutes), the byte count
recieved goes way up and the rest of Netscape is
inoperable. Finally, it will stall (the byte count
drops to about nothing and I have to kill the
newsgroup list window (which is still empty) before I
can do anything else with Netscape. I'm wondering if
this /etc/hosts business will help. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jim
