Someone's firewall. Yesterday I was getting access from my home account but not from work. No changes in work firewall. I get the impression that someone (PrimeNet administrators or their service provider) has implemented a firewall driven by a blacklist or by scanning from "related addresses" (probably linked to virus activity). BTW two of the systems I run at work were "frozen" i.e. had stopped consuming CPU at the time they attempted to contact PrimeNet. Had to kill the process & start again. Wasteful...
