Er Rick, did you actually read the whole message or just switch off as soon as you saw the word Microsoft?
It's a generic firewall issue and he's actually converted to Linux. ccgaddes (don't know your name), most of the linux distributions log the results of firewall blocking to one of the files in /var/log, usually /var/log/messages. A trick you can do is "tail -f /var/log/messages" and it will monitor the file as it's written to, you can press enter a few times to display a gap, then hit the site & see if anything's being denied. It is also possible the rules setup do not log everything. If the system's using IP-Chains you can do "ipchains -L -n" to list the current rules, there should be a catchall rule to deny & log everything unknown. You might find the config in /etc/system/ipchains (or /etc/system/iptables maybe?) I'm afraid I don't know how exactly Mandrake does it.
