It seems like on Sun, Aug 20, 2000 at 04:46:05PM -0700, Shawn T. Rutledge scribbled:
Orig Msg> It helps to make sure netscape is really gone before you restart it:
Orig Msg> 
Orig Msg> ps auxw | grep nets
Orig Msg> if you see any netscape processes, kill them:  kill 3456 or whatever
Orig Msg> ps auxw | grep nets
Orig Msg> if the process is still there,
Orig Msg> kill -9 <pid>  (kill with extreme prejudice  :-)
Orig Msg> if you had to do kill -9 then you probably also need to do this:
Orig Msg> rm ~/.netscape/lock
Orig Msg> 

Don't remember where I got this but I found it while working
with Netscape at Motorola-SPS.
Add this to your environment:

MOZILLA_NO_ASYNC_DNS=True

Now Netscape should play nice during DNS lookups.
