hello.
i rent a game server and have done for 5 years but 5 days ago all of a sudden i cannot even see the server or connect to it yet everyone else can, including my brother who is a virgin media broadband customer also on the same ip range as myself who live 4 miles away from me. at 1st i thought "ok firewall problem" so i uninstalled it but still have the same issue. i next thought "gameserver provider" has blocked my ip range but they assure me its not on thier end and also my brother can connect. i next done a traceroute, here it is..
Code:

virginmedia told me that its not at thier end because "only the 1st 3 hops belong to them" and as they are fine in my tracert they claim its not thier problem..so them why does my brothers tracert show the 4th hop as ntl?
can anyone help? thx
ps i have also changed my ip a dozen times and still it times out.
