czernowitz,

Whenever posting questions on these forums, please give us as much information as possible about your computer. Depending on your issue, we might need the operating system, processor speed, amount of RAM installed, and any other information you think might help us. (In this case, we certainly need the type of internet connection you have installed...Dial-up? Cable? DSL? something else? The more information you give us, the better informed our answer will be.

In the meantime, if you're using a dial up connection, there normally is a setting in the ISP's dial up connection properties, or the "dial-up networking" section, which will allow the connection to immediately shut down after closing the browser. Since you didn't give us your operating system, or such, I can't give you specific instructions on how to gain access to that section, but it should be there.

Hope this helps and let us know....

czernowitz,

Have you fixed the problem?

I'm not quite clear on what you want. If you're using ADSL, then your connection should ALWAYS be on. Closing the browser simply stops your ability to "browse" but the connection will still be there. If you want the connection to actually stop, you'll need to unplug the connection from the ADSL modem.

On the other hand, if your problem occurs when Netscape closes and your connections stops, then that's something else. Have you updated your ethernet drivers? If running a USB connection to the modem, do you have sufficient power to the modem? Have you tried running the connection through the ethernet jack instead of using USB?

Have you checked to make sure that sufficient microfilters are set up correctly on each socket where a device is connected?

Hope this helps.

Ok, what I want is: when I exit from my Netscape
browser, automatically it should also disconnect
from the internet. In other words just one command
exit Netscape and disconnect from the internet at
the same time.
I was able to do this with the older version
of Netscape.
