I'm sure its possibly something stupid, but for the life of me I cant see it.
I do have Firewall software on the Mac but its wide open for FTP outbound access. The router is bog standard no special outbound rules. No sites blocked and no services blocked.
Will try the direct route with the laptop tomorrow. Also will fire up Wireshark and see if I can see wtf is going on..
Tks for the suggestion.

Virgin decided to go awol on my butt this evening so it gave me a chance to try a laptop on the modem..afraid the result were inconclusive..The laptop was able to get onto the ftp site but only when it had a differant IP address. Presumably the MAc address of the router reserves the IP for 48hrs or something. I got a different IP address and it worked right away.
Router plugged back into the modem and no joy...but as I said it had the same IP as previously, once it was back up and running I was unable to get through to the FTP once more.
I'll remap the Mac address on the router tomorrow and try to get another IP address and test again.
