It's a good way to identify a good host :-)
Hmm, I thought it, contacted them with my IP, they checked and "whitelisted" it but it did not help. Restarting router helped sometimes.
And most important if that was the case - how come I could open some sites of mine on that same host/Ip while others gave me error message? If I have blog1.com, blog2.com, blog3.com, blog 4.com it could be that I can open 2 of them, but not the other 2. If it was IP problem why not all of them? Thats one mystery for me.

Ps: Also sometimes it just gets back to being ok after few days without me doing anything, so if my IP was blacklisted it should not be ok without me contacting my host to whitelist it? Unless they blacklist it for limited time only.

Just my random thoughts.... Its really annoying, it happens for months, years with all of my hosts. Not very often but when it happens it sucks.
