Hi,

You have to configure netscape to use a proxy server ( this adress should be reachable and known on the UX machine (/etc/hosts), or configure DNS (/etc/resolv.conf) on your ux machine.

Srini,

Do you use a proxy server at your work? If so, you'll have to set this up so Netscape knows how to get to the internet.

In Netscape, go to Edit -> Preferences, then click on the arrow next to Advanced, then click on Proxies. You'll have to supply Netscape with this information. Again, this is only if you use a proxy server.

Hi Srini,

Looks like a problem with the network resolution. Id your system able to resolve the internet addresses to their names and vice versa. Do a "nslookup" and see if the system is able to resolve internet addresses like hp.com, microsoft.com etc. Also if you are using a proxy, you need to add the proxy configuration in your netscape browser setting. To do that, in your browser select edit --> preferences --> Advanced --> proxy settings --> select manual setting and add your proxy settings.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

1. Configure netscape for proxy if you are accessing net thru a firewall in the Preference feild.

2. check your DNS setup /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf

3. run nslookup with any web address and check whether it resolves the address.

Goodluck,

Thank you all for your help.

I am missing default gateway entries in my /etc/rc.cofnig.d/netconf file.

Once I put gateway entries, netscape started working fine.

We are not using any proxy.

Thank you
