If you can change your IP address using a proxy, then you are covering your trail. It is not hacking, it is something anyone can do easily if you are using Firefox. If the proxy IP you are using gets banned, all you have to do is change it again. There is really no way to completely stop someone from going to something they are banned from, but I suppose that depends on what level of access users vs. gusts are granted. I know that for phpBB, you must have a valid IP address to be able to sign into forums. If the permissions are set so that only registered members can post, but guests cannot, then you must register on the phpBB forum and use your real IP in order for it to work. So, like I said, it all depends on where you go.

I think if you call up your isp and tell them that you think you are being hacked and you would like a new ip they will gladly give it to you. but if you do this too many times they may get suspicious and not do you the favor anymore. if you have dsl then you get a new ip everytime you sign on. cable on the other hand has static ip, ips stay the same until they change them.

i think thats how it goes. can someone confirm this?

You can change your IP by unplugging your modem and plugging it back in, just as thablkpanda has said.

You can also spoof your IP, using a proxy, which I've posted a tutorial about in the tutorials section so it can't be illegal

You can have a mac addy ban as well, which is EXTREMELY hard to get by.
