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> ps auxw | grep nets
Orig Msg> if you see any netscape processes, kill them: kill 3456 or whatever
Orig Msg> ps auxw | grep nets

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.
