Secondly, I am trying to use netscape to get onto the net, and when I launch it I get the following errors :- Netscape is unable to locate the server home.netscape.com the server does not have a DNS entry Warning : the following hosts are unknown :- myname.my.domain home.netscape.com home6.netscape.com internic.net When I try to update the identity information it won't accept my ISP's server names etc, rejecting them with Host unknown messages. I Have tried to setup a standalone system in accordance with the FreeBSD users manual, although once I have done this I can't start Netscape! I'm sure the problem is to do with domain names etc. Any ideas will be greatly appreciated, and probably tried over the course of another sleepless night!
