Does your IP address change when you are using Internet Explorer from the one you using in google chrome?

If that's even possible this might mean that you got trapped with a banned member's IP address.

This link shows your IP http://whatismyipaddress.com/ (do not post your IP in public)

but I can see your IP address. I dont know, you are not there in the ban list.

I will ask Astar maybe.

Yes I think the same.

Meaning that when we banned a person on his IP address, your IP was similar to his, so you also got banned.

I tracked you, but you had many members having the same IP as you. I will look for which one of them is banned and ill not ban on IP address. I will just try.

Open command prompt.

Type "ipconfig /release". Press enter. Then try logging in whenever the problem occurs.

Oh sorry, there was a mistake.

Type "ipconfig /release" (without the quotes, on the command line by itself).
Type "ipconfig /renew" (without the quotes, on the command line by itself).

This will change your IP automatically
