      You can't mask your IP since the game needs to know your IP in order to send game data back to you.

      There are ways of changing your IP though but I'm not going in to how to do that. First of all it's hard to do for games and second, if you're banned it means you're not welcome anymore. It is irrelevant whether or not you think the ban is fair.

      you have to change your IP Address

      1) go to command prompt

      2) type:  ipconfig /release

      3) type ipconfig /renew

      this should change your IP address which should allow you to access the server

        That will only renew is his current IP Flightfanatic, not magically provide him with a brand new one.

          In order for ipconfig /release and /renew to work he would have to make sure his ISP hasn't assigned him a static IP and he would probably have to wait a few days before doing the /renew part.  Which would mean no Internet access for a few days.  One way to solve this....don't get banned.

          I was once banned by punkbuster...it wasnt great at all. lol. I downloaded hacks for private server to make videos and stuff. Not to take advantage of hacks to kill other players over public servers. PB said its ok to use in private server but not public. First, I didnt know if i have hack on my system and if i didnt use it. PB still can detect it and ban me. That was so gay!...I have to go buy new IP for 20-30 bucks or something.
