OK, I also found the information on the .dmrc file.  Apparently the file
permissions were OK, but it didn't like my home directory permissions. 
This is fixed.

OK, I have all this set up, but I still can't view previews on NetFlix
(just one example).  I get a window that is completely blank except for
the words "(no picture)".  I do get audio.  Any other ideas would be

Thanks. 

I'll go to the site suggested and report the bug in the Network applet.
