   Re: Netscape 8.1.2 jams up my computer -

   From: jake@somewhere.net   
      
   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
