    The first problem to me sounds like a DNS reverse lookup problem.
    Normally with telnet and such a reverse lookup occurs to make sure that
    the DNS name during the first lookup isn't bogus. Some tcp wrappers
    don't like it if the forward and reverse lookup isn't the same.

    As for the second problem can you do a traceroute or ping any of the
    hosts off your network? If not I would definitly check your DNS settings
    and your routing tables.
