I've seen this problem when not connected to the internet. I assume
that netscape is doing name lookup so that it can talk to
netscape.com. I found that if I used netscape-navigator instead of
netscape-communicator the problem went away. I think that
netscape-communicator is linked to netscape by default on redhat
systems.

To get around this problem why working unconnected to the internet, I
just setup a seperate instance of aolserver to act as the the
info.webcrawler site. The url for this is configureable in the ad.tcl
file, so I just set it to http://localhost:8001/all.txt.
