netname: BT-MIDBAND

217.47.73.13 - common to many traceroutes
inetnum: 217.47.30.0 - 217.47.153.255
netname: BT-MIDBAND
descr: RAS Boxes
country: GB
The following named routers, birmingham, ilford, etc - 194. ranges look like DNS routers
Here is a theory, techies welcome to tear it apart.
it looks like the 217.47 and 217.32 ranges are the reverse DNS for the broadband connection - can this be confirmed from the router settings? That is what picks up the data stream from your computer, before it is sent anywhere. What does not make sense is that the in and out IP addresses are different (that was commented about as a possible problem with the 2006 trial)
That leaves the 217.41 and 213.123 ranges sitting with question marks over them and the jury is still out on the 217.47 range.
Two questions:
What are the browser logs showing - in and out responses?
What happens if you block the 217.41 range at your router/firewall level?
3rd Question - any BT customers who are not seeing the bounces?
