It's possible I just didn't copy enough of the output. I wasn't sure
what I was looking for.

I have tested with debian and everything worked fine. I kept
thinking there's something wrong with my configs, but
maybe not. I signed up with a different provider and everything
works fine there, so I'm starting to think this provider has
a network problem.

I will put linux back on and tcpdump with that. Is there
any other info I should get?

I posted some network info from debian.
