There IS A FIX!! Kinda...
This problem primarily occurs when netscape attempts name lookups. The
first of which is often the home page, but you have that set to "blank
page" (see, I _read_ your message :)
The other one is.... "news". Netscape will take twice as long to fail
on a news lookup as on a homepage lookup (or so it seems when it happens
a lot, grrr). And, for many of us, the name "news" doesn't resolve
properly even _with_ DNS running. I recommend that you put "news" in
your /etc/hosts file as an alias for localhost or (if you actually use
netscape for news) as an alias for your news server's IP. Having done
that, also look in your home directory for any files like
".newsrc-news*" and delete any that you find.
I understand that this can also be fixed by turning off asyncronous DNS,
but I can neither verify that nor remember how to do it. sorry.
