Unfortunately, your rules look fine. I doubt the problem is there. As you describe it, it sounds like you have a more general DNS problem. Right now, all we know is that one service (http) does work while two others (POP3 and SMTP) do not. From the errors they return, it sounds like they are having problems with name resolution. So ... first thing to do is to see if other servides (telnet, ftp, ping, DNS directly via host, dig, or nslookup) work. Also try your browser again, making sure you connect to sites you have never before accessed (Netscape keeps a big address cache independent of DNS, and I bet IE does the same). Finally, in Eudora, replace the hostnames of your SMTP and POP3 mail relays with their actual IP addresses. All this will tell you if you have a more general DNS problem. If I'm right and you do have a general DNS problem, see if the DNS server IP addresses you have are still valid. See if you can telnet to their ports 53 (the DNS port) by IP address. If not, ask your ISP if it has an updated list of DNS servers. When you disable DNS on Win95, you may be getting rid of the hand-entered addresses but allowing its ppp package to get new nameserver addresses -- if not, I'm really curious as to how you are managing to send and receive e-mail without any DNS capability).
