IP Banned?

[RealitY]

Were checking into this with tech now...

If it changed by changing your router then what you need to do is go into the router config and change the router's mac address.
Just changing any 1 character will do.
Then unplug the router and modem, plug them back in, and you should get a new ip.

Whatever happened to going into cmd and releasing and renewing your ip like a normal person?

You know cmd>

ipconfig /release and/or ipconfig /renew.

If switching router did it for him, surely that ought to do it as well. Unless he's talking about his wan IP or something, in which case that's changeable through the router settings.



EDit: maybe that just messes with his wan IP, though, come to think of it. But if so, the router should have commands for it.

EDitII: If it's choking on the cache /flushdns might be of help as well, btw. If something has changed on this end, like the serverip, or something.

I meant to change his internet IP not the wan ip.
With a router you can't just use ipconfig /release.

I havn't tried the MAC address change. I'm tired of the wierd display, going through a proxy. BTW: greetings stoi. Glad to see it's not just me having problems.

I am having the same issue can not connect unless I go through a proxy, so something is way messed up with the forum

Yeah, this definitely sucks. I haven't been able to connect to the site for over a week now. I just thought it was down. Then I though to use a proxy, and now here I am.

So I have to change my IP just to access the site?

Loads of people are saying their IP addresses are blocked.

Including Mulder and Benchez.

What the hell is going on?

Yes, that's why I said it maybe just messes with his wan ip.

However, with some routers just rebooting/refreshing/renewing (depends on brand and what they call the menu option) them renews the IP. True story.

That mac-hax sounds like a roundabout way of doing it

Not always true. Some (i thoguht all but i guess i'm wrong) ISPs assign the same ip to a certain mac address every time it connects, unless that old IP is already taken (could take days or weeks of the modem being off for taht to happen).

I'ma take your word for it, like.

Sounds about right, I guess.

Why make things easy, like
