    I can ping the mail server(s) with no problem and I can surf with no
    problem. It's only the other services that can't connect. No IM, no
    checking of mail with Firebird and Evolution. The box worked this
    morning with an Adelphia cable connection (and has for over a month) and
    I've not changed any settings (except the SMTP to change it to use
    Alltel now). Could it be the SpeedStream modem provided by Alltel
    that's blocking it. If so, is there a web interface (like Netgear or
    Linksys routers) for changing settings and unblocking ports?

    Thanks.
