Instead of just "shawmail" try "shawmail.cg.shawcable.net".That made it work! Now I realize that it was because I set my SSH server (the computer having the problem) to get a static IP from the router, instead of using DHCP, so I don't have to configure the port forwarding every time. The part I forgot was that cg.shawcable.net would no longer be given as the DNS suffix. Why they don't just use something like mail.shaw.ca and make everybody happy is beyond me. I guess the extra periods would confuse mentally feeble people.

I am trying to get my shaw email account set up in pine. It was working as recently as this morning, but now it says it cannot find "shawmail" (the DNS name of the e-mail server). My other computer, attached to the same network, has no problem resolving the name. Any suggestions of what to do? I think I will call Shaw tech-support and listen to them fumble around the concept of "anything other than Outlook Express" (note: I don't really expect to get anything out of this. If I do, I must say that I will be genuinely surprised)
