Morning all! Can anyone else on VM get to www.computergear.co.uk ? I can get it on BT connections but not on our company VM connection. Lookup works ok but no ping!

Got there with no problems at all

Thanks. Problem with us maybe, although it's been off for 48hrs or more.

DNS resolving correctly?? 84.18.194.224

Yep no problems with DNS, or with any other sites for that matter. Just can't seem to get a connection to that IP.

Tried rebooting the router and even tried hardwiring a laptop straight to the VM modem with no luck.

At a very long shot, I'd say ips0-the-epc0.security.uk.catalyst2.net is some kinda of IPS box and it's probably got it's knickers in a twist for some reason about your IP and blacklisted you.
