Help, I'm very confused.

I'm reasonably switched on when it comes to IT but an issue has me stumped at the moment.

My scenario - 50MB Cable, Netgear WNR845T router.

I have a number of machines on my Lan ranging from this Mac Pro to various PC's and servers. I've never had any issues previously getting to FTP sites.

Just before Christmas I noticed that I was unable to get through to my webspace at a 3rd party (Webhosting UK) using ftp whilst trying to upgrade a forum. Web access is fine and DNS resolution is not an issue.

I thought nothing of it and then only had reason to try again recently to perform some upgrades. Same again no access. Traceroutes work fine from here though. Just seems to be something blocking ftp.

I also have adsl as a backup on a different provider, local Lan is on the same subnet but use different gateways/dns for various machines. FTP access using the same machines work perfectly through that connection.

I've fired up a windows VM ont he Mac to prove its not the Mac Pro and that does the same thing, tried it bridged and NAT'd same issue. The minute I switch back to ADSL it works fine.

I have no changes to hosts files and as I said I can browse to the site no problem and resolve it via DNS with no issues.

I have also been able to get to any other FTP site I try, various distro sites work fine.

I'm at a loose end now, totally confused

I'm posting a message tomorrow on the Hosting company forums to see if I'm the only one having an issue to rule that out.

Does anybody have any ideas?

thanks
