Thanks and darn! (I think) I tried the ports for bsdi-netscape47-communicator.us AND netscape47-communicator.us AND linux-netscape47-communicator & all refused for one reason or another. Can you define 'doesn't resolve a URL' -- you mean DNS doesn't work for OSF/1 progs? Exactly: DNS doesn't work in Netscape Communicator. Ping works in a terminal window for a machine name and the browser works with an IP address. What's in your /etc/resov.conf? (or /compat/osf/etc/resolv.conf, iff it exists; it shoudn't exist) /etc/resolv.conf : domain mydomain.net search nameserver ns1.thenameserver.com nameserver ns5.thenameserver.com (resolf.conf contains genuine values) I am not running local DNS - only a slave zone. /compat/osf/etc/resolv.conf does **not** exist And does /compat/osf/etc/svc.conf list hosts as: hosts=local,bind,yp Drew YES, it does. thanks, craig To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
