Ip address and ip blocking
Awhile ago i was ip banned by the servers and since then have changed ips and moved to a new home. but the problem is, only one of my computers have been able to connect to the servers, the other one, that i was ip banned on, still can't log in.
So my question is that is there some sort of signature/sign/code/footprint/etc that is unique to each computer and can be banned along with the ip? and is there some way to bypass that?
My situation is that i am 'computer banned'

It's called a MAC address. I have no idea how they would get it, but that is what identifies computers, although you can change a MAC too... There are other ways, but that's the most likely. IP's are very easy to change, so I assume they'd do more than IP ban someone they dislike.
[quote=naruto993]OT: You could try disabling the internet from that one computer for a while if your computer is connected to your router dynamically. When you reconnect, you'll get a new ip address.[/quote]Actually, no... the entire house shares one external IP address and if he was truly IP blocked, none of his computers would be able to connect to Maplestory.
Resetting the internal "private" IP address by disconnecting from the router won't change the external "public" IP address, thus no change in the IP block.
[quote=BobR]How do you know you're "computer banned"..? What says that when you try to log in..?
It's very unlikely your IP was ever blocked. Nexon only does that on rare occasions and mostly to block the big meso farming sites.
Also, if you've been IP blocked, it SAYS you're IP blocked when you try to login from Gamelauncher.
Plus, if you're living in a new area, you have a different IP address so you're not "IP blocked."
They don't do any kind of blocking by any machine signature or MAC address either.
If you've run any "illegal software" on that computer, it's likely its made changes to Windows files which block your ability to get to the legit Maple servers.
If that's the case, you need to get help from the people who made that software.[/quote]
i know im ip blocked because it says Your IP has been Blocked from connection or something like that. i know its a computer block because there are 3 computers in my home and 2 of them still work, just this one doesn't. ive already tried reinstalling maple. so i guess i can reformat the computer when i get time...

[quote=Tard0zaurus]lol u got IP banned for a reason -_-[/quote]
If you don't know what's going on lately, if you log in a lot of accounts, maybe around 25+ then you get IP banned automatically
Change ur ip address for the banned 1. It's really simple, google it of something
Yes each computer has a ip that they can ban.
