I'm a senior citizen computer dummy.
Use a Chromebook to participate in car forums. Our home internet system is AT&T wireless. Signal comes to us from cell tower about a mile away. We have antenna on carport roof, with the modem & WI-FI router in our small computer room.
On a forum I've been posting on for about a month, I was blocked from posting. The reason listed was because the IP address of my home router has been blacklisted. No problems on any other sites, using 2 Chromebooks & a Mac desktop thru this same router.
"Your IP 107.126.64.82 has been blocked because it is blacklisted. For details please see http://www.spamhaus.org/query/bl?ip=107.126.64.82."
The blacklist message had a link I clicked on to a request form for IP address removal from blacklist. BUT, it requires that I enter the "Hostname of this IP".

How do I find out what the Hostname of my router's IP address is.
Any other tips on how to get my router's IP address removed from any other lists that may cause me to be blocked from other sites ?
Thanks for any help that I can understand, with my VERY limited computer knowledge.
