Hi, 

THis might not be the right place. But let me try ....

Every time we use netscape, we have to occasionally switch over
under the  Options
		Network Preferences
			Proxies

either to No Proxies mode or Manual Proxy configuration or 
Automatic Proxy Configuration .

I have to try either of these to get me to sites on the internet.

Why is this ?

I mean, I see that if I leave it for Manual Proxy config, it might work
for the first time, the next day I might have to switch to 
Automatic Proxy Configuration, then maybe No Proxy option.


Whay can't the Netscape server be smart enough to figure out
which proxy option to adopt and stay there ?
Has anybody faced such a problem ?
Has it go to do anything with name resolution not being working  
properly ?


Any hints ????


Thanks in advance !!
