Virtual hosts jam a lot of different users onto the same IP. The world would be a better place if each independent user had at least one of IP of their very own. Ask your host if you can get your own IP (and hope that Fonz's host doesn't have an entire IP range blocked). If they can't, I believe/think Colo-cation (cd34's company) gives IPs for free if needed. IPs are a commodity though. I mean, they're not gold, but hosts do have a limited quantity and don't readily hand them over to virtual accounts. You can usually expect to pay at least $1 per month per IP at the virtual hosts who are willing to allocate them for you.
