This is because Netscape immediately tries to resolve the addresses
of the mail/news hosts in it's configuration by trying to contact
the DNS servers listed in your /etc/resolv.conf file. If you want
to use Netscape locally (ie, while you are not connected to the
'net) the only work arounds I know of are to either:
1) have an empty resolv.conf, or
2) hard-code the IP addresses of your mail and news servers in the
Netscape settings.
