Steve
Thanks for replying back.
I am able to find my ISP's DNS settings and have entered them into my
Linux's DNS setup.
However, even though I am able to connect to my ISP with its DNS settings,
every time I open Netscape (after connecting to my ISP), I receive the same
error messages
"Warning: the following hosts are unknown:
home.netscape.com
home6.netscape.com
internic.net
Is there anyone on this email mailing list that has been able to both
connect to his/her ISP and access websites via Netscape ? I would be very
grateful if you could email me how you did this.
