Another thing to try if the telnet to port 80 _does_ work is type "GET /"
(no quotes) to verify the site's web server is responding. If all of
those things work, your machine can connect to the web fine and it's time
to either restart your browser (some older version of netscape cache dns
when started and never re-initialize)....or try a different version. I
personnaly havn't had any problems like you describe with any 4.x version
of netscape, but that doesn't mean they don't exist ;)
