It would really best to supply the whole host.domain in the file for
the entry. Since you also have 2 different networks, sendmail may be
having trouble figuring out what the server really is. The 192.168
address resolves differently than the 69.234 address. And the 69.234
address doesn't reverse to the same name set in /etc/hosts. This
confusion can very much cause sendmail to get all turned around and
stall. You might want to consider looking at your  logs to see if you
have errors reflecting this.

Are you using the stock drivers or the proprietary nForce chipset drivers?
