Hi
We access a genealogy site that provides images of certificates via their viewer. PC is linked via router( old Origo) to VM modem ( Motorola SB5101E) and all worked OK til 2 weeks ago. Went on holiday and switched everything off - then can't download data from the site. When the PC is connected direct to modem all is OK. Tried it on XP and Vista / desktop and laptop - always same - with router no download. Tried another router (Netgear) - still same scenario. Can't see on router menu anything about firewall or allowing specific sites. The site not blocked. Cleared all caches/cookies etc on IE7 - Firefox/ on XP doesn't work either.

Any ideas please? Doesn't do this block on any other sites.
Tried on a friend's PC with VM modem & with Belkin router, and they got access OK.

Cheers
Ian
