You should run "tcpdump -qni ppp0" in a xterm before you start netscape. You will probably see dns requests going out. You should check to make sure that you are not blocking incomming udp ports (1024-5000 for bind, not sure about resolver...) as that would lengthen the response time considerably if only a few are open, and completely stop you if all are blocked.
