netscape 3.0 problem -Reply

[Frank Cervone]

If you notice, your URL http://macnet.org/~herrick actually resolves to
http://www.macatawa.org/~herrick/   This and the fact that direct IP
addresses work indicates that the DNS server your machines are using
is not correctly resolving names. 
Also, your page begins with several blank lines and this can give some
browsers problems such as not loading the page until you hit the stop
button.

I'm running NNPE 3.0 on several workstations.  They all are operating off 
a Novell 3.12 network with a link to a Bay router with with a data link  to
our main library cooperative system.  The Cooperative HQ is our link  to
the internet and it is also our library automation system center.   These
workstation are running WFWG and previously ran NNPE 2.01, slow but 
we had a reliable link.  I loaded NNPE 3.0 on monday and tuesday and I 
loaded in the preferences area our homepage address to load on firing
up  NNPE.  Well, now when I click on NNPE icon the Nescape page
comes up but  it won't load anything.  Now if I click on STOP and click on
HOME it will  load our homepage.  Here's something else. If I enter in the
IP address  for the host of our homepage, followed by /~herrick, the
page will load  right up from the beginning.  It won't if I have 
http://Macnet.org/~herrick but it will with Http://206.26.113.2/~herrick.
I also find if I use the IP for the URL and not its name it will connect.
One more point, I have no trouble on my Win95 pc.
Any help/suggest/pray will be greatly appreciated.
Lin, in the drier part of the Midwest, Light.
