Weird IP Thing...

[VampireHeart]

Ok ive got some weird thing goin on with my comp. Whenever i go on my Warcraft III game bnet it disconects and my IP changes...:emote_surprised:. Wtf is wrong?

How do u know you're IP is changing anyway?
If the ip is changing, it could cause a refresh.
While the refresh it requires a re-connect which could be short enough just
to disc your from your game.

do you have a router? have you got a set static ip?

@Heero:

I know cuz when i go to my system prefrences(got a mac), Then i go to network it shows my current IP so thats how i know it changes.

@GST_Nemisis:

Yes i have a router and i dont have a clue what a static IP is

Do you have Dial-up, cable, dsl, or some other thing?

 

[Freakazoid]

Atleast they can't ban your IP:emote_smile:

 

[GST_Nemisis]

they can do what is known as ISP band on you, basically your IPs have a pattern (mostly) and the numbers at the start are the same, the ip ban is based on these numbers and often an alograthm which is designed to allow people whith a similar connection to still connect.

static = ip never changes

dynamic = changes everytime you retart your comp
