Instead of posting a tcp dump, you might try setting the debug flags in
diald to see what's causing it. If you are not running a named server
on your internal network, netscape will attempt to use the ISPs. I seem
to recall that netscape does not use the libc dns library but connects
directly to the named server. If true, then netscape would diald out to
the ISP even when you connect to another machine on your network unless
you running a local named server.
