Here's what works and what doesn't.

1) Browsing to local servers through Network>Local>Servername: YES
2) Using "Connect to..." afp://servername: NO
3) Using "Connect to..." smb:\\servername: YES
4) Using "Connect to..." afp://192.168.1.13 YES
5) Ping servername: NO
6) Ping IP address: YES
7) Ping/connect to http://mail.servername.com (locally hosted): YES
8) Ping/connect to http://servername (usually works just like 7): NO
9) Browse the web: YES

I would say that the problem lies solely in DNS resolution, but I have
no trouble connecting through SMB.

SMB uses something called WINS instead of DNS. So I would say your
problem is definitely DNS.
