Do you get errors or does you get a 'not able to find dns' for
that particular site  prompt?
I have a site on geocities and sometimes the site loads slowly, depending on 
how many folks are on the net. I also accessed the site via Netscape 
Navigator (16-bit) Gold version as well as several other versions of Netscape 
which have been on our system over the past two years.

Since you're calling from New Delhi, what might be happening is a time-out 
(if it can't connect to the server within a specific time-frame.)  There is a 
way to increase the 'time-frame'.  It's specified in some of the help files 
of Netscape.  (I don't have the internet machine up and running right now or 
I'd give you the specific line to edit) (Maybe someone else in here will also 
remember it and post it before this message makes its path to your system.
