This story just happens to me. I host one project with a UK company (UK hosting).

Reliable, nothing to complain about until last week. For some unknown reasons, I couldn't have access to the database using Enterprise Manager.

After a series of emails (for god sake hosting companies should have a better support !), I just received an amazing answer from them.

"
Due to security reasons we will need to allow the IP address you are
connecting from, throuh our firewall to access using Enterprise Manager.
Please let us know what your IP is.
"

I think this is a first for me. Guys I don't know for you, but I develop from different machines and in different places.

How I am supposed to have a fix IP address ? :-))
