Please see your dealer - your Caps Lock key is broken!
I do not know the solution to your problem, but I know that the latest
version of Netscape 4.04 has fixed a lot of WinOS/2 related problems, and
works very nicely under Warp 4 UK (which I have applied fixpak 5 to).  I
connect with InJoy version 1.1.
I sincerely suggest you to download the latest Netscape and install it in the
usual way to see if it still has any problems.  Is version 3.04 an Asian
version with support for 16-bit character sets?
If this does not work, then explain how much "hang" is in this case.  Does
the clock update in the WarpCenter?  Can you use the mouse?  Can you press
Ctrl-Alt-Delete?

Hi Alistair,
You don't need to shout.  (All caps = SHOUTING).
Simply put, OS/2 is an operating system.  It is what turns an assembly
of parts into a useful computer.  DOS (Disk Operating System) is one
such OS, which is quite familiar as Microsoft DOS (MS-DOS) or Digital
Research DOS (DR-DOS).
OS/2 was originally a joint effort between IBM and Microsoft to make the
2nd generation operating system that would not have the shortcomings of
DOS.  Windows was an interim solution to carry people over from DOS to
OS/2.  Windows took on a life of its own, and Microsoft and IBM split.
Microsoft continued to develop Windows, and IBM continued to develop
OS/2.
IBM markets OS/2 to medium and large enterprises.  They don't target the
home/small office user, although many of us have found and like OS/2.
OS/2 has some advantages.  It will run most DOS and Windows (16 bit and
some 32 bit) programs concurrently with 32 bit and even older 16 bit
OS/2 programs.  The disadvantage is that you can't walk down to your
local Wal-Mart and purchase OS/2 programs off the shelf.  It can be a
bit more difficult to set up as well.  It is a solid performer once it
is set up and configured though.
In a nutshell, that is it.  You may wish to investigate further.  If you
have Internet access, you could search IBM's sites (www.ibm.com) for
more information.
TTYL,
Stephen

Write your reply.

assistant: I just installed the 16-bit Windows version of Netscape Navigator v4.04 and
am having some trouble getting it to work properly.  It seems to be having
trouble using the DNS service; almost every link generates a complaint about
not finding a DNS entry.  Some will load eventually anyway, so I don't thing
it's a tcp/ip configuration problem (besides, Opera and other Windows
software running in Win-OS/2 don't have any problem on the same setup). Then,
clicking on more than a couple links will crash the program with some
violation in WINSOCK.DLL, and sometimes the the whole system locks up,
requiring the Big Red Switch to recover. Finally, in those instances where NS
v4.04 doesn't crash on its own, it will not close the session without manual
intervention from a process killer.
Anybody else encountered problems like this?  Any ideas on how to fix them?
