Hi, thanks to everybody for their time and reply. I am still trying to get to the ottom of this. Your replies, and the ones from my ISP -althoguh they do not offer tech support for Linux they were quite friendly and courteous- made me think it is a Java problem or my ISP address problem. I will try to add new dns server in a pppconfig. Are there any tricks to getting the java to work properly? I install navigator in my /usr//local/netscape/ directory by hand since the 3.* versions and had no problems for years, so I doubt this is the case. Here is my ldd output:
bash-2.01$ ldd /usr/local/netscape/netscape libBrokenLocale.so.1 => /lib/libBrokenLocale.so.1 (0x4000e000) libXt.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXt.so.6 (0x40010000) libSM.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libSM.so.6 (0x4005a000) libICE.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libICE.so.6 (0x40063000) libXmu.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXmu.so.6 (0x40078000) libXpm.so.4 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so.4 (0x4008a000) libXext.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libXext.so.6 (0x40098000) libX11.so.6 => /usr/X11R6/lib/libX11.so.6 (0x400a4000) libdl.so.2 => /lib/libdl.so.2 (0x40147000) libstdc++.so.2.8 => /usr/lib/libstdc++.so.2.8 (0x4014a000) libm.so.6 => /lib/libm.so.6 (0x4018f000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0x401a8000) /lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000) I can't see anything wrong with this, but I'm _no_ programmer... Oh, yes, I can ftp that IP address, but I can't access that IP address in Netscape- gives me a "forbidden access". I will keep guessing, and if the above had given you an idea for me to try please let me know. Otherwise, thanks for your help, damir
