I had the same problem and fixed it with the help of this forum.


Netscape woes


Here is the fix.  (Not my fix)

I discovered the fix:

Apparently, a statistics server Netscape uses to monitor browsers is down and Netscape 8 has a bug in it that can't handle that situation (it has to timeout.)

Edit your HOSTS file with notepad and add the following line:

127.0.0.1 ns8-stats.netscape.com


Now save the HOSTS file and restart your Netscape and the problem will be gone.


You can find the HOSTS file in: %systemroot%\system32\drivers\etc
