I was able to access www.zdnet.com without difficulty last night using 
Netscape/2 6/97 release....
Are you using the "-3" parameter with Netscape/2 so it reports the User Agent 
field as "Mozilla 3.0 (OS/2; I)" instead of Mozilla v2.02?  If the zdnet site 
is expecting v3.x that would explain why your Windows version 3.x works but 
NS/2 doesn't.
