Re: [newbie] Netscape problem
I am not sure how this got setup on your system (maybe old settings in .mozilla directory? ). Anyhow, you can go to Netscape-Edit-Preferences-PrivacySecurity-Certificates Here choose the Manage Security Devices. Try playing with the settings for the Software Security Device here.

Re: [newbie] Netscape problem
Eugene and Seth Not to worry, I had this problem yesterday when I installed my modem and was able to fix it. Here's what you need to do: 1) You need to be able to connect to the Internet for starters (sounds like both of you can). When you get connected wth KPPP goto the details on your connection (found in the little window that shows you are connected) and you will see your local IP and your IPS's IP, write both of these down, you'll need them in a minute. 2) Open up your /etc/resolv.conf file and see what is contained inside. For mine, I had no entries. In order to make mine work I had to add the below lines: search mc.net [put your ISP's IP address here] Once you have added this info to the file, you should be all set. Close the file, exit all your Netscape windows if you have any open, and try Netscape again. If this still doesn't work, try looking up your local ISP's IP address and see if he has any others that can be used. Or you could break down and call your ISP to get a list of IP's if he/she will give it to you :) I hope this helps. I'm at work now, so I don't have my files in front of me to be able to supply you with specific examples, but i'll send some when I get home tonight if you are still having trouble.

RE: [newbie] Netscape problem
I have the EXACT same problem, and I have checked everything. I am connected to the internet but NO programs can get the information. Perhaps they can't talk with my modem? any ideas anyone. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Digital Wokan Sent: Sunday, July 09, 2000 8:20 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Netscape problem [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have Linux-Mandrake 7.0.
