Posted May 27, 2008 hey. i have been getting a message which says <Hub-Security> Your Hostname or IP is banned. how can i get unbanned. this stuff is really depressing. :( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 27, 2008 Ehm...don't get banned in the first place? You need to contact someone else in the hub or the hubowner to get unbanned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 28, 2008 dont evevn know why i got banned. how do i locate the hub owner? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 28, 2008 Check if the hub has a website and do it from there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 28, 2008 Hello, Please let us know the hub address and your EXACT nick there, if not private. I guess Lee can provide the IP from the forum, if static. @Staff: Please move to Support. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 28, 2008 Moved to Support. There's nothing we can really do though. You need to find some way of contacting a keyholder on the hub, or even the hub owner, to find out why you got banned and if you can be unbanned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2008 Hello, the hub address is dcplus.ru.ac.za. my IP number is 146.231.129.49. my nick is Caramanda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 29, 2008 Thanks. @Greg - Yes, but as quality service it is nothing for us to contact hub staff, using our IPs. I. e. IP 146.231.128.133 . Hub is offline while I am typing these rows, but altho there is not a reliable whois, hub is probably near to you. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 30, 2008 i managed to communicate with two of the hub runners. they said i was banned because my client was broken and is breaking things. i really do not know wat that means. he said that they were not sure that was happening and that there wasnt much they knew to do about in. they said i had to try fix my client. how do i do that? :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 30, 2008 Well, probably you are using a client w/o TTH support. Still, if there people ARE NOT SURE, they should not ban users just like this. You can try a newer client, our Apex DC++ 1.0.1 for example. And sorry I didn't asked about your client first. P. S. Seems hub is on dynamic IP. Any DNS address?

Posted May 31, 2008 TTH support is in ApexDC++ 1.0.1. They don't seem to say what is wrong with the client, just to fix it. Not really sure what to make of that, it doesn't seem broken to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 31, 2008 if my client is not broken then what can it be? would reinstalling windows help? tried reinstalling DC but that didnt work. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 1, 2008 Maybe they simply hate Apex, as some of us do not like the SMT's speed mod. Any alternative communication? E-mail, messengers? Just state your problem, if they do not care, there are better hubs (f. ex. see my signature ). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 2, 2008 i have tried logging on to other hubs and i keep getting my connection refused by the active target. should i just lose all hope in DC? really do not know what to do... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted June 8, 2008 Connection refused by target means the hub is down, try another. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
