The Day Has Finally Arrived....

[H.C.]

So somebody got banned at this hotel before? Is that how it works?

I'd assume so.
Being that it's not your home IP address, and your account doesn't have 'banned user' on it. You're not actually banned. If you were, your @HCP account wouldn't be accessible.
There are a few things which pop into my head.
Someone over the history of this website got ip banned from there.
There have been a lot of 'spam accounts' from that ip address. So this site automatically blocks that ip.
Or...
As Julius said. The specific hotel blocks sites like this.

If the hotel blocked it, it would more than likely be on the firewall which would look different than that screen.

It doesn’t look like the hotel banned it. If you look at your IPv4 settings is your ip static or dynamic?

Whhhhaaaaaaaaat?

I assume when @SlyPokerDog sees this. He'll fix it for you.
TBH outside of Denny... Sly might be the only one who can.

MothaFucka because this is about The HCP and the health and stability of this once great/now wack forum! This place without me is like Kool without the Aid...... Ham without the Burger...... The Jackson 5 without Michael and your Blazers without Dame!

You know that you can set your phone as an access point and connect to it from your mac / ipad?

That way you are using your ipad/mac and it is connecting to the internet via your phone.

There is a great dive bar in downtown Pitts. with very good food. The brunches are reasonable, but dinner can get spendy. The Muddy Waters bar.

what you can do is go to a coffee shop or any kind of shop that has free wifi nearby. If it works then the hotel has you locked out, if not, then you're

I see...
My very first official job when I was 17 at subway... Had co-workers into that game.
They'd have their friends come in and play it with them while I was working.
I always thought they were.... how to say this and be politically correct... Special people.
