    I got banned in a forum because i apparently was posting stuff that was against forum rules. I had spoke to that forum moderator and they won't live the ban. Basically have the message

    Does anyone know how i can change my IP address?

    If you broke their rules then tough; you shouldn't have. But in that case they would have banned your username as well.

    If they've had problems from someone else who had your address before then it's only an IP ban and then unless you have a static IP address, just switch your router off, wait a couple of minutes and switch it back on and your address should be different.

    Exactly. Reading is fundamental.

    Not necessarily. There's a step in there that was overlooked which would make that a viable solution depending on ISP. But as a life lesson for the OP, I'm closing the thread and directing the OP to...

    Google that info. There's a wealthy of info to be discovered.
