I have a 192Kbps DSL. When DNS was down on my ISP's server, Netscape
would display the Navigator window, and stop responding. Additionally,
Win9x computers could not connect to Samba. I removed the resolv.conf
file, and Samba worked well. I replaced the resolv.conf file, and now
Netscape is operational. I am sending this because I am uncertain if it
is a bug for non-operational DNS to prevent Netscape Communicator 4.51
(kde 1.1.1) nor Samba 2.0.3 to stop operating on FreeBSD 3.2 (CDROM).

Cordially,
