I set the Internet control panel in W95 to
connect to the internet via modem. When I
then open Internet Explorer, it opens
dial-up networking and makes the
connection. But when I open Netscape I
get a server error message that Netscape
could not find its home page.

Is there another setting I should change?

Not that I've ever found.

It has always seemed to be yet another example of these 2 companies not "playing well with others".

It is an example of how MSIE is hooked into the Windows shell, and therefore "knows" to call DUN and get your Internet connection running. But Netscape does not have the same hook.
