[NTLK] Orinoco Silver + NAT

Hi all,

I have an interesting situation, and I was hoping one of the mighty
crania on the list could help me out.

I have an Orinoco Silver card in my Newt 2100, and I'm able to send
mail, browse, etc. at work, but not send mail at home. The setups are
identical, but for one thing: The AirPort station at work isn't doing
Network Address Translation (NAT), but rather distributing IPs out on
the 'net itself, while the home AirPort is, distributing a range of IPs
on my internal LAN.

I can browse in NewtsCape on the home setup, but SimpleMail hangs
resolving my POP server's address (mail.earthlink.net).

Details: Home setup is Earthlink DSL with Linksys router doing DHCP and
NAT, and AirPort station hooked into Linksys, distributing addresses
with DHCP but no NAT of its own. It's set to 40-bit WEP, but so is
work. Setting a manual IP address doesn't seem to help, nor does
changing DNS servers.

Work setup functions flawlessly in all respects.

Any help?
-Sonya
