Hi all,
I can connect without any problem to my ISP (Freesurf) thru KPPP. But
once connected, when Netscape comes up, I got (from netscape) a message
about a environment variable which has to be set:

Perharps there is a problem with your names server. If your site must
use a non-root names server, you will need to set the $SOCKS_NS
environment variable to point at the appropriate name server. It may (or
may be not be necessary to set this variable, or the host preference to
the IP adress of the host in question rather than it's name.


My question now : Why, Where and how have I to set $SOCKS_NS and which
it's parameters..

Thanks very much for any help !

Eug�ne
