Can you guys comment on lenght of temporary restrictions?
My access to battelnet have been restricted for 7 hours now, it never lasted that long.
Last night I saw message about soj's being sold so I left that game on all night hoping for clone and was quick magic finding on another computer.
This morning I got on again, clone game still on and started some quick runs on another computer again. After few runs I got that temporary restriction.
How long can it last??

Try unpluging you modem for 5 minutes so it can reset. or if you have dial up just sign off your internet and sign back on. One of our members in hr had that problem he came on in open mode asked me. I told him what to do he was back on within 5 minutes. Only reason you should get a restriction for 48 hours is for spaming in channel. which was what one of my other friends did.

It can last anywhere from 5 minutes to 72 hours, if it lasts longer than that, e-mail blizzard.

well see to go into alittle more detail people with cable modem's experience this alot more cuase your modem is constantly on therefor sometimes it doesn't reset. when i was using aol (dialup) i would get realm down or the realm is temporaily restricted. I would just sign off aol and sign back and then sign back on to bnet and bamm I was back on. But sometimes you just have to refresh your modem.
I even spammed inchannel once to see if i would get restricted. Sure enough I did but I just signed off aol then signed back on. back onto bnet bamm back on. I am not sure why this happen's. Someone prolly know's more detail then me about it.

It's because you are temp banned by your IP Address, and there are two ways an ISP assigns you one, dynamic and static.
Everytime you dial-up with 56k (god help you), your IP changes, there for it's dynamic, ergo you can log right back in.
However if you're on DSL or Cable or some other form of high-speed access, you could be either dynamic, or static - meaning that even if you reset your cable or DSL modem 100 times, you'll still have the same IP Address.
Just wait it out, I got one very early this morning, and am still banned and there isn't shit I can do about it until it wears off.

Well, I fond the solution.
I had extra router laying around my house so now every time I get banned I just switch my routers and I'm ready to go again.
