Just tried that, and netscape came up "frozen" with the clock mouse pointer.
I believe the problem is that somehow I have to establish an 
IP address <---> Host name relationship, and I'm not sure how to configure
this.  I have made an entry for the hostname (using the "localhost" IP
address) in the /etc/hosts file, but I'm pretty sure this isn't enough to
make things work.  Anybody know how to do this configuration?
