The README that comes with netscape suggests fixing this problem by
setting the variable "MOZILLA_NO_ASYNC_DNS=True" but doing so is a kinda
dumb way to fix the problem (having the asynchonous DNS lookup is really
nice - the best new feature IMO). It seems to be a linux timing realted
thing cause I don't have this problem with an AIX box (though that machine
is not dialup).
The funny thing is that the machine for which netscape fails is dialup
connected (ppp and diald) and supports a client machine via IP
masquerading, the client *never* seems to have problems with DNS. The
client is 2.1.57, the server is 2.0.31 and is running diald, pppd over
isdn. Any ideas are welcome.
