TECH: DNS problems

[Joyce Conklin <bkwoman@PACBELL.NET>]

Has anyone else has problems the last few days with error messages saying
that the site cannot be found? It's not true for all sites, just some.
And for some of them only on Netscape, but I can get to it using Internet
Explorer.

Sometimes if I type the URL into the location box it won't work but if I
do a Google search (fortunately Google still works!!) and click there it
works. Other times I have to double-click. Sometimes the URL in emails
works, sometimes not. I even tried connecting using my PowerBook and a
dial-up connection but that was also somewhat problematical.

Totally irritating! I did a smart-upgrade this afternoon (wouldn't work
this morning) to Netscape 4.78 but that didn't make it work any better.
I'm a bit leary about updating to Netscape 6.1, given what I've seen on
other lists about it.

Anyone have suggestions?
