I've had a similar problem with Moz 1.6 under Mandrake 9.2 (among 
others...). However some differences. (Moz 1.4 wasn't functional at all)

My PC has a connection to my ISP via dial-up. In the www.seek.com I can run 
a search and get a multi-page response. When I click on the "next" button, 
Moz thinks for a while then returns "No data" when there most certainly is. 
With the same query in Konqueror, I can go to the next page of results 
which displays fine. THEN I am able to request this page successfully thru 
Moz... This is the only site I found this to be the case (so far anyway).

Suggestions?

Mike
