what should it be??  obviously the default isn't enough since i have constant
problems with nutscrape (i've started using IE5 of all things)

yes it does.  "files dns" is the prefered since you can over-ride DNS by placing
stuff in /etc/hosts

then don't mess with it.

blah, silly netscape.

let me quote myself by saying, "Netscape is POOP."                              
                                                  
netscape used to rule, but obviously the wrong person has gotten their hands on 
netscape since it has sucked since 2.mumble                                     
                                                                               
IE5 for Solaris is far better (as sad as that sounds) but so far i have had far 
less trouble with it.  that isn't to say i've had no problems with it, i still  
seem to see the DNS problem (reload the page and it works) although far less    
often as with Nutscrape.                                                        
                                                                            
cheers,
