>> The block is not on the OP side, as seen from traceroute
I'm puzzled why the trace didn't even show up even the edge routing. The absence of these 2 hops show that it is failing further up the line than at my server
87.230.113.11 ae1.sr-loki.slo1.dcnet-emea.godaddy.com
185.24.99.67 Host EuropeThere should also be another hop or two before that which will depend upon the type of internet exchange used by the ISP. If anyone else is with IDnet can post their tracert to this site we may be able to track down at which point the routing is failing. I'm beginning to think that the type of modem may be a red herring. From the info gathered so far, traffic is not going any further than ID-net.
I have seen where wrong credentials (or credentials which are for non static IP) stops correct throughput due to wrong routing - even on FTTP (happened to me when we had full fibre installed and wrong credentials were given)
This is possible. Also.. it's highly likely that the swapping over of router has caused Shaun to connect to a different ISP gateway.
I'm not sure how many gateways IDnet have now, they used to have 4 based at 2 different locations.... and depending on location may use a different internet exchange for traffic out on to the Internet.
It's weird that this should fall on the back of not being able to authenticate a connection. That too could be linked to gateway issues. Traffic can be steered towards different gateways and routing to can be different depending upon which gateway the EU connects to. I suspect its far more likely that successful routing depends upon the ISP gateway you connect to, rather than the type of modem.
