IP Banned?

I tried to log on to the forum this morning from my home internet connection, and got a message than an administrator had banned my IP.

As you can see, this is my first post, and I am able to log in from my work account, so I doubt it's because of something I did...

My home ISP is Hughes.net. Is all of Hughes.net banned?

Is your home IP static or dynamic? If its dynamic try powering down your modem. When you turn it on it should request a new IP from the server.

That's not a very nice welcome, so welcome from Ca.

It's still banned on my home desktop, but right now I'm having no problem on my laptop, which is wireless to the same router (and thus modem) as my desktop PC. I'll reboot the PC and see it it clears up.... I haven't reset or power cycled either the router or the modem.
