Re: banned by ip

Describe your problem, in detail, and we can probably help. The only hint
you've given us was "some situations like some websites don't allow more
than one connection to their website from a single ip address !!! what if i
have 3 employees using this website ? do i have to buy 3 ips ? (I have 70
ppl behind one single ip so buying 70 makes it a bit too $$$$)". While
there may be situations like that, I work for a government department where
there are 300+ people accessing the Internet from a single IP, and I've
never run across a problem.

That's not entirely true...he said something about an on/off switch on
his modem. He also mentioned something about "well, its not an actual
ban, it just stops serving me after i make 3 requests untill 5 minutes
have passed, then another 3 & so on ..."

Then he said that I've missed a lot, despite my inability to find where
he actually described his connection (dialup? cable? DSL? satellite??)
and actual problem (all websites? one in particular?).

Seeing as he arbitrarily termed this a ban when from what he has
described it isn't, I would wonder if he's also making up the definition
of a request, since a web page can actually consist of tens or hundreds
of requests for various elements of a single page to be rendered...

SO...

J. Random Guess would be he has a bandwidth issue. I advise him to
stare intently at his modem's activity lights to see if they blink
randomly or stay on in a nearly solid manner. Run a ping test, see what
the returns times are over a period of time. Also, if he has Windows on
this network, start scanning for trojans and viruses as they are great
at not only killing your bandwidth, but on XP it'll kill your TCP
connections since MS started implementing a throttling scheme that
manifests itself as seemingly random network connection failures (you'd
have to look at XP's system or application log for error messages).

Unless he wants to feed us more details on his connection and network
makeup and describe in detail what site is giving errors, I really doubt
it's a ban and couldn't speculate further on what he had already described.
