Do you have iptables on the linux box, or any other firewall?  I have
seen such behavior from a misconfigured firewall.  A reason you might
not see it locally is because most stock configurations allow an
exception for loopback, and many allow for local network connections.

One thing you ought to try is to telnet directly to the port.  So, for
port 143 (IMAP), you would go to a command prompt and type: telnet
66.127.45.55 143

You should see something like:

* OK [CAPABILITY IMAP4rev1 UIDPLUS CHILDREN NAMESPACE
THREAD=ORDEREDSUBJECT THREAD=REFERENCES SORT QUOTA IDLE STARTTLS]

COPYING for distribution information.

If you do not, then it means there's some sort of network problem
between you and it, probably a firewall or NAT somewhere.

I hope that helps,
David Gomillion
