I can confirm that that host is accessible through MTN (and others) but not through Orange. It doesn't look like just a proxy issue- the host responds to pings from other ISPs, but not from Orange. Is it possible that the host is running some sort of active intrusion detection system that may be blocking Orange IPs, perhaps after some sort of suspicious behavior (repeated failed login attempts, etc...)? It doesn't seem to be a routing issue as some neighboring IPs (96.30.62.147; 96.30.62.150) are perfectly accessible. I can only think of three possibilities: 1. Orange is blocking that specific IP address explicitly (seems very unlikely) 2. That host has some active filter / configuration that is filtering Orange IP addresses. 3. That host's routing tables are misconfigured in such a manner that it can't route to Orange IPs.
