    Reg ip address
    Hello ,

    My name is kamal actually I got an problem , we r 4 people in our room and we share one common router and each of us got lap tops. We use wireless internet frm that router . We go to an common chat site the admins there banned one of my friend (my rommie) from that site and we four of us are not able 2 go in that site. On each of our lap tops it says we have been banned . I think the admin banned the whole router ip address . Is there any way that I can enter that weebsite . I don't want the ask the admin of that website to unbann me , can I do it myself! :)

    You have two options basically:

    - Ask to be unblocked
    -- You can explain the problem to the admin and see if they open it back up
    - Browser from a different IP
    -- You can set your browser to use one of the many free Proxies out there
    - Force your wireless router to change its IP address
    -- Change the MAC address on your Wireless router and restart. This will force it to get a new IP.
    -- Do this one on your own risk.

    You either didn't do it correctly or your router doesn't allow it. If it didn't work then the least you could do is report that back and give me a chance to walk you through it and troubleshoot it. Instead you marked my answer wrong without even trying the other options. I gave you other options which you obviously ignored and honed in on the one option that didn't work.

    And by the way, if you changed your MAC address correctly (and was allowed) then the DHCP server will be forced to give you a new IP. The DHCP server of your provider will not hand out the same IP address to some other machine (i.e. different MAC address) when the IP lease is still valid. That's why I think you didn't do it correctly.

    The other explanation is that your description of your network is not complete and you might be behind yet another NATing router in which case option #1 and #2 are your only options left.

    I strongly suggest you contact the site owners. If you try to get around the block surreptitiously, when they find out (and they will find out) they will ban you again.

    If you contact them and explain that you are different people sharing a router, they might make some provision.

    I also think it would be unethical of you, and unethical of us to help you try to get around the restrictions imposed by the site owner.

    Do you think Admin wants us to give instructions on how to use web proxies? Might want to fly that by him. Could ruin some admin counter-measures. ;)
