OK, apparently I shared an IP address with someone who was banned from DP. It has only affected my mobile, and now I can't access via my mobile. Am I right in thinking IP addresses change from-time-to-time? hence I will, in the future, be able log on through my mobile.

I'm sorry to hear that, Paul. I can't really answer your question but I do know that my ISP assigns me a different IP every time I log on; I don't have my own IP, so I guess someone else might get the same IP that I've used in the past. I suspect the likelihood of that being someone banned from DP is fairly remote.
I'm sure a mod may have a more helpful answer for you soon.
All the best,

This as been forwarded to the admins to check into.
Yes IP addresses change from time to time. With windows you can go into command prompt type "ipconfig /release" and that should release your IP, then type "ipconfig /renew" and that should get you a new IP address. I guess depending in the ISP that may not always work. With my computer I will do a ipconfig /release at night and unplug the power to my cable modem and in the morning or after noon the next plug it back in and I will usually get a new IP address.
If you use a proxy site like this or if you use TOR browser you don't have to worry about changing your IP.Now this can be slower and doesn't always work.
I already (prior to my putting up this thread) had contacted Admin. They were the one that told me about my IP being the same as someone who had been banned. I can access fine from my computer (like I am now) but I still have no access via my phone?
Paul
Try turning your cell off and on. Sometimes that releases the IP address and forces a new one.
If doesn't work CC, I'm retracting my like

Yea...you the man CC...it worked
