Do you have another computer at your house you can try? Would be nice to point the finger at your computer or point the finger at the internet.

I'm positive this is all related to my IP address...Before Tuesday (when my IP changed), nothing had been installed/uninstalled to/from this machine...

I'm just gonna leave the modem unplugged all night tonight and see if Blueyonder have given me a new IP in the morning..

Thanks for everyones input...

Just for your information, guys, I'm using Opera 7.x with pop-up windows disabled (kind of a built-in ad killer) and are not only surfing the Web without annoying bull**** but also having no problems downloading stuff from GCW. (Not that this would help BountyWarrior...

)

Same problem for me, damn you blueyonder.

JoyBoy · #22 04-07-2003, 08:19

We have very similar IP ranges, perhaps Blueyonder have only blacklisted certain customers from accessing the site... Flipping gay this is...

chunders · #23 04-07-2003, 08:22

So the leaving the modem unplugged overnight didn't work eH?

JoyBoy · #24 04-07-2003, 08:27

Nope, I was still stuck with the same IP....

In light of my recent 'promotion'... It would be ironic if Blueyonder also block access to these forums

Seriously, besides getting on the blower to Tech Support or Customer Services and demanding a new IP address (or your old one) or demanding they grant access to GCW again, I doubt you will ever be able to download from that site again.. You can still view it though via one of its mirrors. Not that that means much in this situation..

Up until I saw your post on the 'Orange' one a few minutes ago, I didnt think this was a problem with Blueyonder... Thank god you decided to post here...

chunders · #25 04-07-2003, 08:31

Hmm, maybe I should post about it in the newsgroup, see what they say.

Or maybe I could call them but I don't want to risk getting booted off.

The site isn't illegal though so they shouldn't be able to block it should they?

Damn it, this site is one of my first ports of call.

JoyBoy · #26 04-07-2003, 08:33

Thats exactly why I have hesitated about calling them (due to the nature of GCW)... I was thinking of posting on their newsgroups as well and seeing what kind of response I got, but to be honest, I havent bothered yet because I wanted to see if anyone else would say they have lost access to the site..

ash2dust2 · #27 04-07-2003, 08:51

If they are only blocking (whether blanket or singular) then asking them to clarify their reasoning and policy should not be much of a deal for them. But I wonder why they let you on orange, but not GCW.

As far as I know, not even AOL blocks. Thats always a good one to rub into their face.

A funky solution would be to cancel and sign up again for a new account.

chunders · #28 04-07-2003, 08:54

Ok BountyWarrior, I just phoned them up and they claim the block isn't from their end and that they don't have a policy of blocking sites.

They claim it must be the site that has blocked a certain range of ip addresses and that the best thing would be to leave the modem off for 24 hours to get a new ip address. They claimed not to be able to forcibly assign me a new one.

Is there any way you can contact gamecopyworld admins to see if our ips have been blocked?

I felt a bit of an idiot telling them the site name but it wasn't too bad.

They probably pulled it up on their end and said "This is the coolest site I have ever seen".

I have done that, but I dont expect a reply for at least two weeks, for reasons I wont say here, as people who use GCW as their main source for cracks will be upset

Hmmm, I WAS told way back in September 2002 by Blueyonder, that to get a new IP all I had to do was leave my modem unplugged over night (which worked)... Now its 24 hours?, Might try that this weekend and see if I get a new IP...

I honestly dont see that working though, as my new IP was practically forced upon on me (read the thread to find how).. Until EMPiRE (the admin) now tells me differently, I put the blame on Blueyonder..
