Inexile2002's Journal: Stupid ISP

Ok. Lately I've been getting this intermittent Banned IP message from home whenever I try to log into /. I know that it's the proxy that my ISP forces us to connect through but I've been having no luck what so ever getting my ISP to look into it. I'm almost positive someone on my ISP is running some idiotic bot, or perhaps someone's box has been cracked and is running one remotely.

But it's making it almost impossible to surf /. from home and it's getting annoying. /. has become part of my web routine: logon, check /., check Salon, check ALDaily, check whatever it is that I logged on for, email and then log off. Not the end of the world that I can't stoke my nerdly fires, but it's annoying.
