Oh yeah - this problem occures regardless on whether I have Netscape set
to display a blank page or a site...

_________________________________________________________________________
This has been a problem that has plagued me over several versions of RH
- I access the internet through a lan-modem router using Netscape, and
until the router actually makes a connection, Netscape is totally locked
up. Once it makes the connection then everything is fine. This is
usually not a big deal unless I'm doing web-work from my workstation and
don't need the internet just yet. Just to test a web page I created I
have to sit and wait for the connection to be made before Netscape will
display it. Afterwards I can usually disconnect safely though once and a
while Netscape locks up and I need to reconnect. Is this just one of
those quirks with Netscape that we've learned to live with, or is there
something I can do on my LAN settings to eliminate this problem?
