1392719 2015-01-25 18:20:00 I have some extra information about the problem now, so we must be able to sort it out. Unearthed my old modem, created a dial-up connection to Xtra (phew!) and tried that. With that, I can connect to www.flexihost.co.nz ok! Also check my email via cpanel, no problem. But back on broadband with Xtra, no success.

But, I set up a Tor browser, Tor network on broadband, and that will connect to flexihost fine, checking webmail at flexihost also fine.

Factory reset your broadband modem.

1392720 2015-01-25 22:41:00 This morning, 11am, and all is working again. I didn't do anything.

In the meantime, had a reply from Flexihost to say that the IP address I gave them, that I was using yesterday, was not blocked by their firewall. They asked me to check if the ISP was blocking that IP address.

Today my IP address issued by Xtra is a different one, so wherever the problem was, it's not there now.
