I know this is under Grandpa's ID but this is Captainkodak1. He called me on the phone today and said that he could not enter the RS.net site. So if anyone needs to get in touch with him please do so by email. I am checking his messages for him and sending them on to him. He or I will let everyone know when things are back up.

Update...  RD: Hey, adam, I figured out what happened! Adam: what? RD: yesterday I went to the kitchen to get a snack and a drink, and when I got back to the comp my cat Riley was laying on my desk with his butt resting on the right side of my keyboard. I saw the url bar flashing with a LONG row of the url for PB89 on it, and it was scrolling like crazy RD: The server considered this an 'Attack', and banned my isp Adam: stupid cats RD: yup Adam: got it fixed though? RD: not his fault, he just wanted some lovin', LOL RD: not yet RD: there are flaming hoops I have to jump through to get in contact with someone Just so everyone knows.. |

This message was left for me:
RD (3/21/2007 2:51:45 PM): Been on the phone with time-warner cable for all of this time, Adam.
RD (3/21/2007 2:52:37 PM): they were as helpful as they could be, but the end result is my connection to RS.NET has been destroyed!
RD (3/21/2007 2:53:25 PM): Has something to do with being re-directed to some &%^&$%%^ CHINESE web site that I can't even connect to
RD (3/21/2007 2:53:41 PM): I feel like crying!!!
Just keeping everyone updated...

So is it his cable company that's blocking him or proboards  |

I check the main site once a month [if that] - the forum should be his main concern me thinks. I hope he has some way of sorting it out! Lol, wonder if he'll get the site back if he changes his ISP? ;d
EDIT: Oh my, I just realized he can't get into the forum. That sounds WAY more suckier! Sorry, RD!

now.... is it his ISP that is not letting him in here or is it Proboard's that has banned his IP?
because.... well, there is a way to override the IP he ISP gives him and even change the mac address that his router/modem uses. ;D
i have used that to get past bans/blocks i and others i know have experienced ;D

hmmm....why would Proboard ban his IP? I don't see him violating any rules....and how does the ISP block him from logging in? I thought this board only reject proxies. I'm just curious here, coz I'm no IT expert. Perhaps you can explain that to a non-tech person such as myself. |
