This does not seem to work with Communicator. But then the
Communicator beta seems to have several serious problems.
Hi,
I'd like to know if anyone here has a quick fixed for netscape
hung problem that I'm experiencing.
Everytime I bring up netscape, it comes up fine. Once I press
a icon button, the netscape will no longer respond. Ever worse
if I press any of the pulldown menu, it will hang up the whole
system because the pulldown menu grab the mouse pointer. I must
reboot..
BTW, I'm currently not connect to an ISP in Linux just yet.
Thanks!

Re: netscape hung
Hi,
I waited and waited for hour and it still did not come back.
I've also tried:
$ netscape file:nothing.html## or nothing.html
The netscape would not even come up with the above command.

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] .
