does this mean anything to anyone .   I'm trying everything i can to get my
linux connection working .... I finally got this message again i got it a
long time ago but this time i typed it and am sending it to you ... it is a
netscape error ... maybe it can help

-------------------------------------------------

Warning the following hosts are unknown:
  Home.netscape.com
  home6.netscape.com
  internic.net

this means that some or all hosts will be unreachable.

Perhaps there is a problem with your name server?
If your site must use a non-root name server, you will
needt o set the $SOCKS_NS environment variable to
point at the appropriate name server.  It may (or
maynot) be necessary to set this variable, or the
SOCKS host preference, to the IP address of the host
in question rather than it's name.

Consult your system administrator.
