I have a sneaky suspicion that Shaw's forward and reverse lookups don't
jive.

Do an nslookup on the IP address you are assigned.  Now do a forward
lookup on the name you retrieved in step one.  If they don't match, call
and complain :)  Any ISP worth a darn should be able to get this
straight.

If that's not the problem, then I'm sorry for being unhelpful.
