I used "netstat -i" rather than "ifconfig" for debugging though, and it showed me that all the receive packets were getting dropped "RX-ERR" and "RX-DRP", Netscape wasnt giving up completely because it obviously thought it had some sort of connection, but not being successful was totally hanging itself. Are you getting any errors in transmit or recieve packets, using ifconfig or netstat to view them, while netscape is hung or ping is running?
