    Subject: Reverse IP problem

I tried to download one of your domestic-only products, and I live in
the
United States (or Canada), but the web site said it
could not verify my location?
A: In order to determine that the users who are
downloading our domestic-only
software are in fact in the United States or
Canada, we need to be able to verify
your domain. This requires that your domain return
to our site a value as part
of a reverse domain name lookup. If this value is
not returned, the software can
not verify your location and as a result, denies
you the ability to download the
software.

The above is the situation I'm getting. Is there some service on my
Linux based
firewall that I need to run which I am not running for this reverse
lookup to take place?

Thanks In Advance...
