Overcoming r/d

[Oxy]

I don't see why this shouldn't be allowed on these forums. For far too long there've been problems with R/D for me, and I just realized the simplest solution.

I, like most others, have a dynamic IP address provided by my ISP.

This is a solution for W2K / WXP, but it's doable on W98 too, you just have to know where to go in the CPanel.

If you get R/Ded:

go to DOS, type "ipconfig/release"

Go to your Network Neighberhood, Network Connections or Connection Profiles, or whatever, and right click - > properties on the connection the SERVER (if you don't have a network at home then you can't go wrong, there won't be a LAN / Local connection and ISP connection, there'll only be the ISP connection) gets its connection from. It could be your ISPs name, or whatever you named it. Mine is called Videotron, but it could very well be "COX".

Anyways, right click > properties. Double click on TCP/IP connection.

Most people just get the IP from the ISP. Select "set your own IP" (and this is why you don't want to mix up your ISP with your LAN, cause if you do then your LAN will fux up!) and enter in anything.

Click Ok, and OK again on the other dialog box.

Right click > properties, and reset it to how it was before (That is, get your IP from your ISP).

You've just reset your ISP and you no longer lose your items if you're self muling.

GJ!

...I'd rather just wait for the few minutes I get r/d.

I have to try this when i get home. Does it work with Dynamic IP?

You're lucky.
r/d's usually last over 1/2 hr here.

It only works with dynamic IPs.

[rotor_001]

Doesn't:
ipconfig /release
ipconfig /renew

In a dos-promt work? Save those two lines in a file with .bat extension. If you r/d just doubleclick on the .bat file and presto a whole new ip. Can't test it though since my isp just assigns me the same ip. Still a dynamic system.

Cheers

Yea, usually when I get r/d its only for 5 minutes max. Once in a great while its like 15 mins but thats only happened twice or so. So instead of risking messing up my computer that I know nothing about, I'd rather wait :)

One other thing, when you overcome r/d its not recommended to go back to MFing, since B.net also notes your cd key. So if you join a few games quick after you renew IP address, you will get re-banned. (unless you have a 2nd cd key)

Static IP so I would simply have to turn of my cable-modem for about 20mins to get a new IP.

CheersAnd I thought dinamic systems were things in the form:
dx(t)/dt = f(x(t), u(t), t)

We used to have to do this when we had cable but we did it through a router so a little bit easier to change the IP....now we have DSL do we just d/c it then re-connect and have a new IP in a flash.
...Think we are going to go back to cable tho...
