Try setting your MTU down to 576 and see if packets flow. > Just a data point - Netscape 4.76 is working wonderfully > for me on several 2.4.x systems - well, netscape does die > fairly often with bus errors, but when it's running it runs well - For me, netscape is netscape. I.e. gobble memory for a few days until I decide to restart it. Netscape rarely dies on me. -d -- ..NOTICE fwd: fwd: fwd: type emails will be deleted automatically.

Netscape with kernel 2.4.0 _does_ connect/download at a few local (New Zealand) web sites (maybe 10% of those I've tried). I can't download from _any_ distant site. It doesn't die, it just doesn't function properly. Several people have suggested I remove ECN from the kernel, or disable it. Well, ECN has never been selected as a config option in the kernel, so this is not the source of the problem Thanks for your suggestion, Roger Young. ..
