Is there a way to get rid of the temporary ban?

The thing that says it was restricted temporarily, its been going on for about 30 minutes and i cant seem to get rid of it.

Reset your IP, or just wait the ban out.

How do you reset the IP?

 

[Z-Suijin]

If you restart your computer it will usually fix that problem.

Will it also work if you unplug your modem and plug it in again?

 

[LizAngel]

I think not.. unless you use 56k..

instead of restarting the computer you can enter "ipconfig /renew" in a comandwindow. menu start> run > cmd is the commandwindow.

In case you are sitting behind a router this doesnt't work. You will need to reset the router's connection to the ISP or if you have a modem between router and ISP to reset this modem.

In case your ISP assigned you a static ip, the only thing you can do is to wait.

Is there any way I can view my IP? Is it dangerous to let websites see it?

And how do I tell if it's static or not? Do I just have to ask my ISP?

Everytime you visit a webpage, the server gets your IP. Unless you're using a proxy. So it's not a big deal, and you can google "What's my IP" or something and there will be lots of sites that will tell you.

You can type cmd in Run command and type in ipconfig /release then ipconfig /renew usually does the trick for me
