How are you able to change the IP address on your machine? Most ISPs
provide you with a IP which you normally have no control over?

Bring up a command window.
enter tracert destination_ip_address

it will give you each hop as it goes. You can see which one it gets
blocked at. Not very fancy, but often all that you need !!
