This sounds like a routing/name server issue.  Try several things.  See if you
can reach sites by IP address.  Try:

    ping 128.32.25.19

If you get a reply that means that your routes are OK.  Next, ping the same
site by nanme:

    ping berkeey.edu

If you can do this, then your name server is working OK, and you should be
able to reach netscape too.  Also, Let's see what your routes are.
Please post them to the forum.  You can see your routes this with the command:

    route -n

Additionally, let's see what your DNS configuration is.  Please post the 
contents of the /etc/resolv.conf file.
