Hi all:::
I have a cable model connect to my W2K machine via a router which also connect my other sun Solaris 6 machine.
I can ping my router and other outside website IP address. But when try to brows through Netescape it give following message.
"Perhaps there is a problem with your name server? If your site must use a non-root name server, you will need to set the $SOCKS_NS envionment variable to point at the appropriate name server. It may (or may not) be necessary to set this variable, or the SOCKS host preference, to IP address of the host in question rather than its name"

Let me know the step to configure Netescape on sun solaris 6.

thnx a lot

It sounds like a dns issue. Do you have /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf configured correctly ?
