Banned by AOL
Posted on Mon 2 Apr 2007 at 11:27 AM PST. Filed under Software.
My Comcast connection was really flaky this last weekend — it was going up and down. This resulted in AOL actually banning my IP address (or so I think), so I can’t connect to either AIM or ICQ atm, with any client or machine. I will have to wait a week until my IP address recycles and hopefully by then I will be able to connect again. So, if you need to IM me, use Jabber, Gtalk, MSN or Y! instead.

When you reset your router, you don’t get a new address? I have SBC DSL, and when I reset my router I get a new IP address. I use DynDNS.org to always know what the address of my router is. Just curious.
Apparently not. I did turn off the router for 5 minutes, but to no avail, I still can’t connect. I was successfully able to connect via the DHTML web-based AIM Express page, but this worked because their own IP address tries to connect, not mine.
You too? I had a problem Thursday night which extended well into Friday afternoon.
I know that you are in the Bay area, and I’m in the Washington DC neighborhood; could comcast have a nationwide problem?
I think it is a wide spread problem. Icq doesn’t work here either.
