My problem turned out to be stupidly easy. I had been pinging with a
numeric address, say 128.83.185.42 but whenever I tried to go anywhere
with Netscape I was putting in an alphabetic address ie. www.cnn.com.
The problem was that I didn't have a nameserver entered into my network
settings. Like 128.83.185.40 (and 41.) I hope that is all that's wrong
with yours too. 


Let me know what happens, 

Bill
