I've seen Netscape programs inexplicitly unable to contact Microsoft's =
website on a Macintosh before, while they could contact seemingly all =
other sites....
I'm afraid to say that I have nothing practical to suggest to resolve =
the problem, though.

TweakUI does not cache DNS addresses to the best of my knowledge. It
only messes with the UI. =20

There are some "speed up your connection!" programs out there that just
consist of a host file that has commonly used IP addresses in it. Did
you check to see if the user is using one of those?

Peace,
Penelope
