You're banned?

The wifi router gets an external public ip address lease on a periodic basis from an dhcp service belonging to the ISP.
Depending on where that leased ip address is on a black list or not, some sites may check these blacklists and reject a connection, in a similar way that many mail service providers are checking mail domains looking for spammers.

Thanks for your replies. All my devices connect to the internet via the same Router/DSL-modem, therefore they communicate with the same IP-address.
Furthermore on the phone I'm able to access the forum with the Samsung browser which should definitively use the same IP-address as the Chrome browser on the same gadget.

And the miracle is, if some device has established a connection to the forum from within my LAN, Chrome on the phone also is able to connect to the forum.

I'll do some more tests and report. Don't worry as I have some workarounds for now.

[Edit]Another status:
I did temporarely deactivate IPv6 in my Router/DSL-modem and successfully connected Chrome on the phone to the forum. After activating IPv6 again the forum was still accessible. Hmm...
