| Posted by: macgeek417 on 2009-05-27 12:46:39 ...When I connected to the 'net today and went to the 68kMLA, I got a: Information: Your IP address has been permenently bannedmessage. So I'm currious, what did the IP 66.73.158.91 do to get banned :?: __________ EDIT: fixed aprox. 7587346598 typos | |

| Posted by: macgeek417 on 2009-05-27 14:42:37 I have dial-up. dial-up = dynamic IP. i just yanked the phone cord and plugged it back in and reconnected. EDIT: oh, and quinterro: According to your sig, you named your fastest computer "Slug" 😛 | |
| Posted by: LCGuy on 2009-05-27 16:23:23 Well as you just said, its a dynamic IP, hence any man and his dog who uses your ISP could've had that IP. I ask...is it really that much of an issue as to why that address got banned? I certainly don't know, but in any case, getting a new IP address is simply a case of reconnecting, as you've realised. 😉 | |

| Posted by: LCGuy on 2009-05-27 17:55:17 I guess if you can teach an old dog new tricks (such as how to use a keyboard and mouse), I can't see why not. 😉 | |

| Posted by: stevep on 2009-05-31 20:42:02 Not sure if it's a related issue or not, but for the last two days I have been getting a "can not connect - user has exceeded bandwidth, try again later" message (not those exact words) and couldn't get connected even after several attempts. | |
Posted by: LCGuy on 2009-05-31 21:05:01Hahahaha, good dog 😀 stevep: Yeah, everyone had that issue, basically we ran out of bandwidth. I'm sure ~tl will explain more when he gets on. 😉 | |
Posted by: ~tl on 2009-06-01 02:40:28Not sure if it's a related issue or not, but for the last two days I have been getting a "can not connect - user has exceeded bandwidth, try again later" message (not those exact words) and couldn't get connected even after several attempts.It's not related, see here: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=10122 As for the original problem, since it's a shared IP address it was probably used to spam the forums at some point. I've removed it from the banned list, so you shouldn't have more problems with it... | |
