If my ethernet address is: name@haas.gatech.edu, then I can connect to
any machine (or mail to any user) under gatech, like bob@hydra.gatech.edu,
but NOT to, say, bob@mentor.purdue.edu. IBM told our Georgia Tech coordinator
that this was an OS bug.

Interesting. My default gateway is set, as well as my nameserver.
The nameserver works fine for local connects. I cannot connect outside 
my domain even if I use the absolute address, bypassing the nameserver.

It sounds like you have your machine working, so I wonder if IBM has given us
bogus info. What updates have you applied?

Thanks.
