I have been having problems with netscape and other X11 apps. These apps take forever to load. This only happens when a certain machine at my isp is down, the one that hosts my domain. My machine is named firebelly.net, but since i'm on dialup my friend hosts eerything. When his machine is up netscape orks fine, when he is down, netscape takes a minute before loading (kinda the time it takes to realize a domain is down..like something is timeing out) What can I do to my system so apps aren't dependent on this other machine It's not resolv.conf. I've changed that around amny times and nothign. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
