netscape communicator on a unix box

[mike worrell]

HI all,
We are replacing one of our old unix boxes with a newer spare we have. We have moved all the products over except for 1.. netscape.
On this old box we can type in netscape and the netscape browser comes up. Where do I need to go to get the software to make this happen on the new unix box I'm going to. Thanks, Mike

Hi,

Netscape communicator is available at software.hp.com

However, it is no more supported on HP. You should consider Mozilla suite unless you have a requirement to use netscape.

Isn't it there is one of the apps CD's ?

Netscape is available on the app cd's software.hp com.

mozilla, also available from software.hp.com is in my opinion a better tool, based on netscape.

Thats what I'm using right now.

Thanks to all..
I loaded on the netscape communicator... That is what's on our old box.
/opt/netscape/netscape gives me this in ReflectionX window
./netscape
Error: Can't open display: fifrux23:0.0
Error: Couldn't find per display information
fifrux23:/opt/netscape>
any ideas what I need to do to get around this and make it work.
Thanks

Looks like the DISPLAY varibale is not set on your new server or misconfigured on the ReflecionX software.
Is "fifrux23" your new servername ?
If not, change it in your ReflextioX configuration.
Also do # echo $DISPLAY on your xterminal to check it is setup for the correct hostname.

Hi,

Find out the IP Address/hostname of your windows box. You can find it out by typing

$who -mR

(note the IP/hostname in the brackets)

$export DISPLAY=:0
$/opt/netscape/netscape

You may also need to use the "xhost +" command to enable the connection.
