Netscape Problem
I've just installed Deluxe Linux 6.5 no problem also configured my modem and my Net conection.When I start Netsape I get:-
'Perhaps there is a problem with your name server? If your site must use a non root name server, you will need to set the $socks_ns enviroment variable to point at that appropriate name server. It may (or may not) be necessary to set this variable, or the socks host preference,to the IP address not the server name.'
I've got to say this means nothing to me can anyone help?

The nameserver is defined in /etc/resolv.conf The file should look something like:
search yourisp.net
nameserver 100.100.100.100
Where the dotted quad (all 100s here) should be replaced with your isps DNS server. give that a try and see where she goes.

I agree with mikegrb. I just setup redhat and netscape gave same message until i put in the dns address of my isp server in. Once that was done..it worked fine...even thru a Sygate gateway on a win98 maching....i think you can get to network settings thru linuxconf.
Can you get out to other things on the internet by pinging or telnetting?
You probably don't have the network configured correctly, and this is netscape's way of telling you that it can's find the DNS server.
