Hi --
I got the same message from Netscape about the $SOCKS variable. It left me stymied,
and I don't like being stymied. I had to keep swapping back and forth to/from Windoze
in order to get my e-mails (sigh!).
CAVEAT: I am a first-time install of Linux, not an upgrade; if your /etc/resolv.conf
file is already in place (and intact!), please ignore the following.
I found my answer on a Netscape newsgroup, in the form of the /etc/resolv.conf file.
Mine looks like this:
domain centex.net
search centex.net
nameserver 208.6.232.10
nameserver 208.6.232.12
(modify the names & dot-addresses to fit your ISP, of course!...)
and, suddenly, Netscape was able to find the internet. I am still grateful.
HTH.
Cheers!
