machines yesterday. This is my first mail via netscape mail.

I to had FTP problems when I installed yesterday. My resolve conf had

nameserver ww.xx.yy.zz, ww.xx.yy.zz

I changed it to two lines

nameserver ww.xx.yy.zz
nameserver ww.xx.yy.zz

And it worked fine.

Don't know if this will help but good luck.
