I thought there was something wrong when I saw all these old posts first up then I saw a new ID had spam replied to them all.

Getting new ID's with new email addresses, wont stop the problem, as Am*3 has written they also need to have another IP address, and who is going to get that and spend more money to have one........

Spend more money?  I'm pretty sure it doesn't work like that.

You would have to buy another computer to get the router, to get a new IP address

getting a new ip is as simple as rebooting the router.


Lithium do not usually ban ip addresses. I tested this theory on my first holiday after they took over.

i believe you may be thinking of the mac address unique to each computer, but a router has no bearing on that...

No, going by what my husband who knows about these things said..........

I am leaving it at that, dont want any arguments.

Anyway the new ID's will continue to happen, no matter what...

Just have to watch who we really are posting too.

you'll find that Pepe is right about how easy it is to change an IP addy...

i'm not arguing, just telling you what you are saying is incorrect - if your hubby knows about these things then you must have misunderstood what he said.

You make is sound like it is a matter of opinion.  It is not.  It is a matter of fact. 

Do you know the difference between static IP and dynamic IP?
