fine, but only Dan's Netscape works. Linda's Netscape says:  "Host contacted.

I think the problem here might be the two winsocks. I have seen the browser
sit there endlessly on "waiting for reply" with two winsocks installed, then
deleting or renaming one eliminated the problem. It's pretty rare to have two
winsocks without problems unless you rename the unused one.
