With Netscape 4.x I had the problem under Windows, when I had Netscape
running before the internet connection was up (reading mails, local html &
stuff). If I made a http request (or mail, news ...) before connecting, I
got an error (of course). When I started the connection then, and tried to
access the internet again, I still got the error, until restarting Netscape.
Now with Mozilla, it's a bit different, but probably the same problem. My
configuration is different now (Linux and dial on demand), and as I said,
when I bring up Mozilla when the connection is down and try to access a
webpage, the connection is started, but I have to restart Mozilla until I
can use it.
I've had the problem with other programs, too, the only one which works
more or less like desired is KDE's Konqueror. This probably isn't a
Mozilla-specific problem, if you don't think it is, please ignore and
sorry...
See you,
Henning
