I am not having any problems accessing the GMP website via Warwick University.

At some time in the past there was a problem similar to what you are
describing though. No one on campus could access gmplib.org from a
machine with a campus IP address, but it was possible to access it
from anywhere else (e.g. from home). Funnily enough our network
administrator contacted *me* about this after some complaints were
made, I guess assuming that I had something to do with GMP.

A few years ago I stumbled upon something called an "evildoers list".
This is a list of IP addresses that are known to be associated with
spam. Some networking people probably block all IP addresses that find
their way onto such a list, and just like a no fly list, innocent
people surely end up having their IP addresses blocked.

Here for example is a link to an organisation that maintains such a
list: http://www.spamhaus.org/sbl/

You may be able check if your IP address has erroneously ended up on
such a list. Failing that I guess you could email KTH and ask their
systems administrator to look into whether they are blocking you for
some reason? Anyhow, as I said, no problems here at the moment and I
don't recall having any problems recently. I will check from home
tonight.

Bill.
