Re: changing my ip

Also, you should probably report them to the cyberpolice,
and once you backtrace them, the consequences will never be the same.

Good router,

With port forward based on source-address - works great for server based games, not so well in p2p games however.

The router will take the 'abuse' passing along the traffic ment for the game (or application) on your computer or console.

that's true, IPs are dynamic via DHCP. Until that IP is taken by somebody else your computer will keep requesting it and receiving it. So spend some days offline, or change your MAC address and have FREE IP enabled on your account.

They can also get your IP when you playing online, not just skype. Heck, I'm sure the admins of this forum know the IP you posted from as well.

Changing IP is useless because they'll just find out your new IP the next time you play against them online and stuff.
