Re: netscape proxy configuration
Thanks for your comments
I ended up fixing the problem by manually editing the config file (the one
that says "do not edit" !) - I can't remember the name of it now though
(back in Windows land).
I got the settings from my windows netscape config file and away I went.
No probs so far.
