    I have just received a reply from Digital Pacific explaining that:

    "We erroneously blocked the IP due to suspicion of it being involved in a large attack on our networks, This error has now been corrected and the block reverted"

    So this problem was with the host - my apologies for wasting your time. Thanks very much for your help.
