turn off your modem

at the command prompt:

iprelease (or releaseip) <-- can't remember which

leave the modem off for about 30mins

sign back online again

That should be it m8

Type ipconfig before and after to check it's changed

Don't think that will work with static IP addressing - the IP is allocated to your connection and is always the same.

If you have a static IP address then all you can do is appolgise to the webmaster of the chat site.

If the IP address was issued by DHCP then you might have been able to follow SDB's instructions, but you can't.

Oh and by the way the instructions of releasing and renewing IP address is as follows:

98 - iconfig/release_all
- ipconfig/renew_all

2000 and XP - ipconfig/release
- ipconfig/renew

Or you could just join the chatroom via a proxy server

Technical issues aside for one moment, if *you've* been banned then maybe *you* shouldn't try and get back in.
