I'd suggest, as has others, that there is a local problem with your router.

IP address block lists are generally used by email network systems for SMTP traffic, not websites using port 80, 8080 and 443.

Whilst the direct connection route solves the problem, I suspect something in your router is the issue.

Can you provide a link to one of the block lists, obviously editing out your IP address.

You have that the wrong way round, when going through the router, everything is fine. When directly connected to the modem is when i get the problems

I can't post anthing until I get home around 6 but will do then
