Using 2.4.7 I can do what I want on the net but with 2.4.9 I can connect but that's it. Netscape starts to open and crashes, Konqueror starts to open then idles continually while fetchmail says "fetchmail: couldn't find canonical DNS name of mail.optusnet.com.au all mailserver name lookups failed, exiting". So it looks like 2.4.9 is broken for now in the DNS lookup area. Anyone know how to fix that?
