IP blocked on craigslist
WNDR3400v2 router
Hoping the techies here can help - I've never had a problem accessing Craigslist until a few days ago when I get an error message that "my IP address has been blocked". I CAN access craiglist if I bypass my Netgear router on my desktop but if I go through my router or on any of my other devices accessing the internet through my router I get the same error. I'm pretty ignorant on networking. Thanks!

A couple of options:
- Call your ISP and beg them to change your IP address.
- Log into your WNDR3400v2, go to Internet/WAN settings and change the MAC address. You can use the MAC address of one of your computers. Reboot the router and your ISP's modem. If you are lucky, your ISP will assign a new IP address.
1) I tried and they told me they couldn't do that. They said it would change on its own but they didn't know how long that would take. When I pressed that they said "it should change within a few days"
2) I'll try this and report back
Thanks for your help!
