at times, I even tried disabling the firewall altogether but no change. 
the router is just a pass thru zoom dsl router
and I am not using NAT anywhere.
in the all of rivers-bend.com there is only one public ip:
209.205.179.141
when I am testing that fc3 machine, it's the only server up...dns is
fine in that box as it is in this fc2 box
I can telnet to port 25 for what it's worth...
here is list of open ports using nmap:

Starting nmap 3.70 ( http://www.insecure.org/nmap/ ) at 2005-03-09 08:05
CST
Interesting ports on rbmain2.rivers-bend.com (10.0.0.12):
(The 1654 ports scanned but not shown below are in state: closed)
PORT    STATE SERVICE
22/tcp  open  ssh
25/tcp  open  smtp
53/tcp  open  domain
110/tcp open  pop3
111/tcp open  rpcbind
113/tcp open  auth

Nmap run completed -- 1 IP address (1 host up) scanned in 0.283 seconds

...hoping this might shed little more light on all this.
thx
