What is your IP address? I want to break in. Heheh...
seriously.. UPGRADE DNS to AT LEAST version 8.2.2p3.
If you don't, you are vunerable to a ROOT exploit.
Once you update your DNS code, read the DNS HOWTO at:
http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/DNS-HOWTO.html

This is normal... Netscape is trying to resolve the name of the
URL and then it is due to terrible programming that is crashes.
I *USED* to love Netscape until it became unreliable. Btw..
what version of Netscape are you running?
