Thank you guys for all your help. This is an update..

I called Optus again.. got the same guy.. He told they could get to the
sites and that it must either be my host or my router setup.

My host flushed their firewalls and said they had no block on my IPs and
all other clients are fine, so check with Optus again or check my setup.

With NeoTrace I could ping all sites and their shared IP number fine
altho' I noticed all packets were dropped at Node 8 of a 9 node route to
the server. That IP is 61.88.151.54. The ping halted there every time
for a while then went off to the last node without the 2 packets it dropped.

I called Optus again and told them this. They said it was not there
concern and no one else had complained about that IP #. It still must be
my problem. Suggested I unplug the router and go cable modem direct to a
XP box which I did.

I got a new DHCP IP number of course and could get to all my sites fine.
I tried NeoTrace again to see if that 61. IP halted the ping again. It
didn't as the ping screamed thru at 1000 miles an hour.

So, there must be something at that IP # that doesn't like the DHCP ID
that is causing my problems.

I called Optus again... same guy (?) and he said they could do nothing..
and after all I got a new IP anyway. Leave the router off for 24 hours
the reconnect and it will get a new number too.

I did that for 26 hours but when I started everything up again with the
router reconnected, I am still stuck with that same bloddy IP number
that is causing me the problems and guess what? I can't get to my sites
again!

I am up to here about this! I cannot get any glee from Optus, my host
can't do anything from his end and I am here with a router that is stuck
with a DHCP IP number which I can't seem to change.

Any help please?

Thanks

A very very frustrated 'Rock'. :)
