Never been bothered since ;-) You know, for years (since M$ NS started this), I just couldn't get it. While once you're on-line have been using a browser, any url starting with home.whatever works fine, it's rarely worked as an initial home page. Also, with Internic, I think they've changed their url (long ago now) to something like NetworkSolutions.Com. First, do away with home replace with www try the NetworkSolutions.Com url. Should work much better. Meph --

I am having problems...I would like to know what this error message means. NOTE: I am not centering some of the lines as it orginally appeared, but each line appears as it appears. What I did: 1) Set up a POP account for my ISP 2) Used the correct username and correct password ADDITONAL NOTE: This is the way that my ISP said it was to be set up, with no special functions or things to setup in my preferences. Now the error (trying to goto ANY web site through Netscape) Warning: The following hosts are unknown: home.netscape.com home6.netscape.com internic.net This means means that some or all hosts will be unreachable Perhaps there is a problem with your name server? If your site must use a non-root name server, you will need to set the $SOCKS_NS environment variable to point at the appropriate name server. It may (or may not) be necessary to set this variable, or the SOCKS host preference, to the IP address of the host in question rather than its name. Consult your system administrator [OK] Please help! kPPP works fine, it is just I would love to go surf the web using Netscape Richard Wegner = Richard Wegner - Linux Newbie - [EMAIL PROTECTED] NOTE: Derek Rayne is a FICTIONAL CHARACTER this is just an e-mail address I chose! __ Do You Yahoo!?
