It's trying to download http://home.netscape.com. For this it needs to resolve the hostname with gethostbyname() which is blocking. It will eventually timeout and you'll get your netscape back. Then go to options and select None as homepage to get rid of this annoyance. Phil. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
