Have successfully installed Linus 7.1 and got my Email working. I am a total novice. I cannot seem to get my internet working with netscape. Everytime I go into the browser it comes up with something about SOCKS, I have no firewall as far as I know.Any ideas how I can get my browser to work.
Thank you

Hi,

Could be that Netscape is set up for PROXY use. If you have a direct internet connection go to Preferences->Advanced->Proxy and make sure the "Direct Internet Connection" is selected (this comes from Netscape 4.7 for Windows, French version).

Hope this helps.

Denis
