Tried everything to sort this but couldn't. Working fine today.

It may be the case that TW has been under DDoS attack, and that a wide range of IP's were blocked - and as the attack subsides, remaining IP's are being unblocked again.

I'll keep an eye out on this, and if it looks like there are IP ranges that are repeatedly being blocked while under attack, when they shouldn't, I'll see if the hosting company will let them through, even when under DDoS.

Thanks Brian. Having the same problem again now. PITA.

I have not shut down my laptop for three days, because I am not that sure I would get into TW if I did. But it is strange that it would seem to be only Irish who are being blocked, for some reason.
