I run Windows 2000 professional and I am using
Netscape 6.2 as my browser. I have it selected as my default browser but when I go start, run and type in the web address I want, I get the following error: "Cannot find the file "http://www.whateverwebsite.com/(or one of
its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all required libraries are available." What setting do I change so I don't see this error?

I had never tried this before.

Anyhow, my guess is that this is a Windows issue.
The Windows explorer shell is so tied in with Internet Explorer that this may only work with IE.

It could also be related to how Netscape 6X startsup. Do you have it set for quick startup?

It would be interesting to try setting other browsers as the default browser and see if they startup on a run command url.

Try the following.
If you are behind a firewall or a proxy then you should configure the browser and messenger so that they can tunnel through the proxy. You can do this by goint to Edit menu and choosing Preferences / Advanced / Proxies. But firstyou should have the ip address and port nos. of the proxy.
By the way I think newer version of windows i.e. 2K , XP etc come with some personal proxy and firewalls, check if you have them activated. Disable them if they are not required. Otherwise you could use your own ip address in Netscape preferences. Check if works.

Best regards,
