There is a security rule where if an IP tries to connect too many times in a short timeframe, the IP is banned for a day. It is possible you ran into this rule, for example if because you were assigned an IP that was previously banned. 

If you PM me your IP address, or your old one, I can look into it. (Please don't post it publicly here.)
