| 93605 | 2002-10-27 23:07:00 | Hi, Have just jumped from Netscape 4.7 to Netscape 7. I tweaked settings, colours and homepage to what I wanted and everything looked OK. However when I click on to Netscape (offline) a message comes up "info.netscape could not be found. Please check name and try again" When I go online first and give it it's head there's a lot of upload/download activity. Have searched the "Preferences" but can't find where to put a stop to this. Any help appreciated. Jim P.S. Is this the price one pays for free Netscape? :-) |

What have you got set as your home page, info.netscape is not a valid web address, If you want Netscape homepage it is www.netscape.com Are you not able to get any web sites at all, if this is the case check this. Edit/preferences Advanced/Proxies Make sure Direct connection to the interneyt is selected. |

| 93609 | 2002-10-28 01:39:00 | No. Am just trying to stop info.netscape from trying to access the net. Homepage set as good kiwi one - nzcity.co.nz | jaybee (1199) | ||
| 93610 | 2002-10-28 01:54:00 | Netscape reports your search requests, to info.netscape. Not sure that you can disable it, but I would dump it for that reason! Article here (www.computeruser.com) |

| 93611 | 2002-10-28 02:12:00 | OK I see what you are doing now, you didn't say you were selecting Search. Why bother to use that anyway, I don't understand why people use the Search button on web browsers when it is easy to use the search engine of your choice by putting it on the links bar or personal tool bar. |

| 93612 | 2002-10-28 02:16:00 | Yep! Looks like something in the sidebar was the culprit - hopefully . I'd just hidden it. Have now spring-cleaned it. Now find Netscape7 to be quite good tho' slow to load. All I actually wanted however was version 4.7x to handle more than one email address and also retain passwords for sites I visit. 7 does this and more - probably more than I want/need :D . Anyway thanks guys for all the help and advice. Jim |

| 93613 | 2002-10-28 03:52:00 | May I suggest Mozilla? Its the development version of Netscape (Its quite stable and usable though) or if you want something lightweight, take a look at Phoenix - its a cut down version of Mozilla and its very very nice! | segfault (655) | ||
| 93614 | 2002-10-28 04:13:00 | Why use Mozilla? He already has NS7 what advantage is there in getting Mozilla. | Jim B (153) | ||
