Hello, I followed the directions for setting up a caching only nameserver, and for things like nslookup it works fine. Unfortuantely it does not work with netscape at all. I can fix this by adding the nameserver of my isp (I took out both isp namserver ip address's). I can still connect to the net and do things like telnet or ftp, but that is about it. Does anyone know why I can't get netscape working? Also, not only does it not work, if I attempt to shutdown netscape while it is looking for a web address, it crases. I have aslo attached the files named.boot, 127.0.0, and my root.cache file to help anyone who wants to venture a guess. Thanks, Dan Hughes
