Konquerer freezes (defeated by Konqueror)

[Tom Kuiper]

Kevin,

Your suggestion worked while I was at home with my laptop, ethernet PCMCIA
card removed.  I added my hostname as an alias for localhost.

Now, back in the office, ethernet card plugged back in, I can't get Konqueror
to work for me.  I've tried:
*       removing the alias to localhost
*       removing the line for my hostname but leaving the alias for localhost
*       not starting up diald -- don't need it here anyway
*       reseating the PCMCIA card to restart the network connection
I either cannot navigate the file system at all, or Konqueror hangs after
a few (2-5) directory traversals.

One clue.  Konqueror is not able to connect to a WWW server on our local subnet
even though Netscape can.

I think I'm going to have to use MC or TkDesk if I'm going to get any work
done.  Pity.

Regards

Tom
