My home ip has been banned...

[bun]

Hi, just to repeat what I have already said to a few people, in the hope that my problem can be sorted...

For the last few days, since just before the site went down, I get the following message if I try to post from home:

Sorry. The administrator has banned your IP address. To contact the administrator click here

I tried to contact admin and spoke to Ben, but it's still the same. I am posting today from work, no problem. How can I get my home ip to work again? Any ideas?

What kind of connection do you have at home? disconnect and then reconnect to get different IP address from your ISP

I'm on cable so I always have the same static ip address.

I will email admin about it and i'll let you know with the answer

I can't help you with your IP problem; however there is a way to login even if your IP is banned -- just use a public HTTP proxy (there are tonns of them on the net, do a search on google or yahoo). There is even a few with web interface -- try http://www.megaproxy.com.

HTH,
D.P.

P.S.: A proxy is an intermediate server that connects to web sites on your behalf (but using it's own IP address) and then sends the results to your browser.

Thanks, Davlet, that works! Still be nice to get the problem sorted though!
