problems opening web sites in Netscape

[Dale Miller <gdmiller@home.com>]

I don't know what is happening. I try to go to site like www.inprise.com,
www.rational.com and numerous others and they time out. I am using Netscape
4.76. I have noticed this for the last 2-3 months and more and more sites
seem to be failing. I can ping the sites, but traceroute to them seems to
fail. All these sites work fine in the same version under windows. I have
two machines with the same syptoms. any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks for your help
