The difficulty has arisen since the change to your new IP address. My ISP's DNS knows the right IP but my packets disappear down a black hole somewhere in the USA. MY ISP's help desk acknowledge that they can't reach s.r.c either but say they can't do anything about it. Traces from other ISP's in the UK work fine and even blueyonder's professional (business) provider can make the route. However it seems that for me any packets to a 66.x.x.x address fall down a black hole.
