I don't know what your IP is, however, I do know that some "development" 
or "testing" IPs were released back into the amin IP pool and that many 
routers on the internet have been configured to drop any packets with 
these IPs as the originating or destination addresses.  The only 
solution is to request an IP from a  different subnet from your ISP.  If 
your ISP won't give it to you, you will have to change ISPs.  Of course, 
this might not be your problem, it just exactly matches a problem that I 
had a while back and the only solution was to change ISPs.  Be sure to 
document the issue thoroughly, raise the issue repeatedly with your ISP 
support desk, and then use this as your reason to leave your ISP.
