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

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...
That's set in the TCP/IP prefs on the computer, not on the
Airport...at least not on my airport, which is a gray one. It's
called search domains on OS X, and needs to be set on each computer.
