BDHG940 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 I dont know anything about computers and was banned from a website some time ago. I want to still keep up to date on builds and read what people are saying still. Is there anything I can do to my computer or reset something so it doesnt know my computer when trying to look at the forum? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
russian rocket Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 i dont remember much from my cisco classes that i took 10 years ago but i think it depends if they banned your ip or your mac address. if they banned your ip, you might be able to request your internet provider to change it, if they banned your mac, i dont think there is much you can do unless you mask your mac found this on google http://www.a3webtech.com/index.php/get-around-a-website-ban.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acklac7 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 I've never heard of a site banning your MAC, most of the time they ban your IP. Changing your IP is usually simple: log into your router and go to the "Clone Mac Address" settings. Clone your computers Mac address (or just make one up) then power-cycle your modem. When your connection comes back online (usually a minute or two) you should have a new IP. If you're not connected through a router there is another way to do it but it's a little more complicated.

BDHG940 Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Ill have to figure out the pw on the router and try that, thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWW$HEEET Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 I think you can call your isp and they can do it. Use a peer to peer proxy also, that would do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acklac7 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 calling your ISP and requesting a new IP is sketchy as fuck. I've known about a half dozen people who've used the MAC-clone utility on there router, works every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Turn off modem and router then reboot both. Basically they likely just banned your ip addy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unfunnyryan Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 ITT: People who don't know what the fucks up use a proxy, google for free php proxy servers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acklac7 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 ITT: People who don't know what the fucks up mmmkay then buddy. Like I haven't got perma(IP)-banned for http://www.isights.com/ogf/smilies/trollin.gif dozens of times. The easiest way to get around an IP ban is to change your IP using the instructions I posted above. It takes all of three mintues and it's permenant.

Unless your ISP reassigns you one of the IP addresses in their ip block, which does you no good. Or if you have a static IP, or are on timewarner/wow which this usually doesnt work on.

acklac7 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 truth on the Static part, however me and others have used this method repeatedly for time warner/comcast/etc and have always had a 100% success rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffro Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 Most ISPs now supply customers with static ip address like Ryan said. A proxy is your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acklac7 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 I change mine about once every week and my ISP is time warner. Proxy's are a good option but often times they're incredibly slow and only last a few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Test by going to an anonymizer site first. If you can do what you like, they have banned your IP. If they have banned you via some session cookie read, then you have to go get rid of that cookie. So, IF you can't browse via Anonymizer, then try in another browser. They can't have killed you via MAC address because they wouldn't know the mac address, unless your computer is on the same L2 domain as the web server (you share the same switch).

kshymkiw83 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Most ISPs now supply customers with static ip address like Ryan said. A proxy is your best bet. Most ISP's do not supply Static IP Space. It is DHCP space with a long lease time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AWW$HEEET Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Most ISP's do not supply Static IP Space.

kshymkiw83 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 +1 thats why if you call them they will change your address or just shorten your lease time. No they won't. It isn't something some stupid CSR can do. The best way to get a new IP is to unplug your modem for the night. When you go to bed - unplug your modem - when you wake it up plug it back in, and you should have a new IP address. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kshymkiw83 Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Mac wouldn't be in their ARP table Of course it wouldn't - ARP stays within a single Broadcast Domain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spam Posted March 21, 2011 Report Share Posted March 21, 2011 Finally someone who knows the what the hell they are talking about. I still think the best solution is behind a good proxy server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
