I've tried that, I still can't get anywhere in Netscape, or ping an
address like www.google.com. My /etc/resolv.conf is about the same,
only with my ISP's nameserver. I have also gone through the System
Manager utility several times too. Besides the fact that I can't
resolve anything from the console, when I start netscape, I get a
dialog box that says that hosts are unreachable, and says that if I
must use a non-root name server, I have to set the $SOCKS_NS
environment variable to point at the name server. I have tried setting
this manually from the command line, but to no avail. I'm probably
using the wrong command. My UNIX experience comes from Linux and Mac
OS X, so I haven't really had a whole lot of practice at stuff like
this.
