I have learned to never say "Linux." I am surprised that you did - it is too 
easy for them to say they don't support it, or that it is your problem (which 
it was in this case). I have never had a good experience going to any company 
for help with Linux.

While I would normally agree, in this case, I think not. They are trained to 
work with the leading operating system and have human reactions when you take 
them out of their comfort zone.

At least for now, have a set up that you "know works" (it could be a firewall, 
router, etc.). Determine if the problem is their service or on your end. If 
it is your end, come to this list - else convince them to fix their service 
(usually by omitting the "L" word).
