Any solutions in the many ENV > vars of Netscape ? So this happens after you've disconnected, but ppp is still running? I think Netscape might be doing a DNS lookup. It tries to send packets through your ppp interface until it times out. If this happens when you start Netscape, you can probably fix it by setting a blank home page. There might be some DNS knobs in ~/.netscape/prefs.js, but I don't know. Of course, it could be something else entirely... -- Lachlan O'Dea <mailto:lodea@vet.com.au> Computer Associates Pty Ltd Webmaster Vet - Anti-Virus Software http://www.vet.com.au/ "You must unlearn what you have learned." - Yoda, Jedi Master To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
