(1) It's a book. A giant super computer was asked "What is the meaning of
life, the universe and everything". After several aeons, the computer
answered "42".
(2) Although Mac computers are very clever for some things, their brains
seem to have no end of problems with TCP/IP. For instance, you can only
connect to one interface at a time, so if they use a modem for web
browsing, they will not be able to use an ethernet interface to collect
their email from an internal mail server .
If there are no error messages in your server log file, the mac is probably
not making a TCP/IP connection to the server. Start at the mac and try to
telnet to port 110 on your server. Hopefully, that should give you some
clues.

Alternatively, how about giving some useful information. Try looking in your
log file - probably /var/log/messages and note any error messages.
