What happens if you try to telnet to port 110 from one of the failing
clients?
You don't say if your firewall is part of Mandrake or a separate box.
Linux has its own firewall capability, so perhaps you're still blocked
there. Check the Linux logs. ("ls -lt /var/log | head" should tell you
which log files were just written, so do that right after a failure to
see which log files might have information about the failure.)
