So i'm still battling another GPT site to get my account back after they banned me. After several emails they now are saying my IP addy comes back to Maryland BUT I live in Va and my address is registered as such on their site. Well that explains why the marked me. NOW, my question is I use a Verizon Air Card for internet access. Not by choice, but because other than dial up and satty this is the only other reasonable option for me until we get DSL in our area, which is very very RURAL btw! So I know very little about this stuff but have been told in the past that IP addys can change and alternate when using an Air Card? Is this true and can that still be the case even though I log in on the same laptop, in the same location (on my couch in my house) every time? Would it not be picking up a signal from somewhere close by in VA? If so I see this as a HUGE problem for all GPT sites, a very very HUGE problem. I'm going to contact Verizon first thing tommorow and try to find out why my IP addy shows i'm in Maryland and either they give me a reasonable explanation or this "other" GPT site is full of it...
My next question is when the time comes that DSL is available in my area and I switch to it, will that not change my IP address? Again I know very little about this stuff but logic would tell me that the IP addy would change especially if it was with a different company? SOOO, when this time comes will I get marked and banned from all GPT sites I am a member of. Will they all say i'm using multiple accounts, or "false information". Would love for Admin or somebody familiar with this type of situation to chime in with any and all info possible on this scenario!
