Just tried 3.01 for Linux and can tell it doesn't need the server to respond to
ping. Maybe it does ping, but at least no response from server doesn't prevent
it to work as usual. Check plasma-gate.weizmann.ac.il - it won't respond to
ping, but I have received no complaints yet that it refuses to serve http.
Anyway, we've deviated a bit from the original poster's statement. Eli said that
one may experience problems connecting to his *ftp* server, not http (both being
on the same box, as far as I can tell). Do you say netscape uses different
techinques to check availability of ftp and http?

Evgeny
