I'm sorry this is being sent out of "thread"; I haven't gotten a lot of
email; my system is in pieces all over the floor so I can test this
RaQ4, which is driving me nuts.

To what?  Netscape 6 is definitely a downgrade.  At least imnsho.

This morning I can't even get to the site using Netscape; I get "A
network error occurred while Netscape was sending data".

IE 4.0 gives me:

Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site
http://192.168.0.2/admin.

An error occurred in the secure channel support.

So I really think it IS a RaQ issue.  But we do need to install this
server over this long (in the states, anyway) weekend, so we'll have to
live with it, hopefully temporarily.

Got nothing to do with using the browser to work on your own system.

Not near as bad as 6.x.  Really.  Again, imnsho.

Netscape 6 was rewritten to work like and look like IE so AOl
(Netscape's owners) could drop their Microsoft distribution contract.

And this morning I've got a weird problem with using IE.  It seems the
images aren't being saved; I end up re-downloading them every time I
switch pages <frown> again.

Any ideas?
