Netscape freezes because, on startup, it does a blocking domain name
lookup for home6.netscape.com (?) and/or your mail server. So,
depending on how you set up your DNS system, you can indeed cause
Netscape to freeze when you're offline. I wish I knew how to set the
system up so I can have offline DNS (for my home LAN) and still keep
Netscape from freezing. Maybe someone out there can enlighten me.
