You are accessing the internet using an Airport Extreme(a wireless

You must use the name of the server plus the domain name.
For example, I had the same problem setting up my first wireless
router. The normal setting for Shaw(in Canada)is: shawmail for both
sending and receiving mail, as per my ISP's set up instruction.
However, I could not receive any email until I change it to
shawmail.vc.shawcable.net, which is the server plus the domain name.
Nothing to do with the firewall functionality. This just means that
you set up your router incorrectly. It needs to know that your
subnet is called "vc.shawcable.net". It will then pass that search
domain along to your client computer via DHCP. Then the Resolver in
your computer can tack "vc.shawcable.net" onto "shawmail" and look up
the right name...
