Hello everyone,
I have encountered an issue with my network a few days ago. I have a single cable modem(provided by my ISP) wired to a linksys router (bought on my own). The thing is, my IP has been blocked from a game company (Nexon-Combat Arms, if anyone knows), for no apparent reason. The curious thing is that one day it is blocked, and the next day it is unblocked, and then the next day or two it is blocked again, and so it goes.
So through searching, I came across on how to change IP Addresses, which apparently Static IP's cannot be changed, as of Dynamic IP's can. So to check whether I had one or the other, I came across that I had to go into the command prompt and type: ipconfig /all. According to the result and the forum, if there was a line like "DHCP Enabled: Yes" meant the IP Address is Dynamic, and "DHCP Enabled: No" of course meant Static.
The funny issue with this though, is that in one of my computers it shows DHCP Enabled: Yes and the other computer shows DHCP Enabled: No, when they are both connected to the same wireless router and have the same IP Address, according to the website whatismyip
I as well tried contacting my ISP(telecable.net.mx) to see what could be done, and they said the IP's are assigned the time the modem is installed, and that the lease expires every 24 hours. It is tricky to know when will I be blocked and when not. My question is, how can I know how are the IP's rotating around that one day I get a blocked one and the next day not? Also, how come one of my computer shows "DHCP Enabled: Yes" (Dynamic IP) and the other shows "DHCP Enabled: No" (Static IP)?
Thanks a lot
