My appartment bluilding was Banned from bluray.com - Blu-ray Forum

BluSpanky · 08-11-2009, 04:46 PM

all 32 residence in my apartment building can't join bluray.com.
They all get the same message after joining. Could it be that they share an IP address???

Who knows? I just think it's funny that they banned the whole building.

LOL

Maybe it was due to poor spelling and grammar?

Maybe your apartment building is part of the X-Box coalition!

I say call these guys and they'll get to the bottom of this conspiracy!

If the apartment provides internet to tenants they likely network all rooms to a central high bandwidth connection.

that'd be terrible to share one connection.

didn't think they did that. at least they don't in the people i know that live in apt buildings

makes me wonder who the op used to be before he was banned

STARSCREAM · 08-11-2009, 05:05 PM

That sucks for the others who would like to get on but can't due to some tw*t who got everyone banned.

I don't see how an apartment would share 1 IP address as the router would subnet each connection.

Sussudio · 08-11-2009, 05:07 PM

how many other people in the building actually tried to register? all 32 of them?

I know, they must be a rich group of people to all have Blu-Ray players.

Yes, we share one main FiOs router and a few are hard wired to the same main frame unit. Verizon couldn't install seprate units due to our co-op board. Manhattan is a pain in the azz. (single IP)

Yeah, only rich people have Blu-Ray players.

Internally the router would give everyone an IP address, but to an outside website they would all be from the same external IP given by the ISP provider. Works the same way as a router at home. If you have two or more conputers sharing one connection, they have 2 IP's in your home network, but outside the router it's only 1 connection (and 1 IP address from your ISP). Traffic from the outside looks like it's coming from 1 source, the router is what splits the traffic once it gets there to the correct PC.

Would probably suck, but many companies and apartments do things this way. If they get "industrial grade" connection, as in high speed fiber to the building, there is a lot of bandwidth to go around. Depending on how large the apartment is, this could be very easy to do.

Precisely why there's so many "I'm selling all my Blu-ray movies because <insert financial hardship here>" in the Trade thread.

I'm saying that I hardly believe a whole entire apartment building would all own Blu-Ray players.

What if the apts were already furnished?.........equipped with a BD player

Quick, go out and download as many movies and mp3's as you can, then you can just blame it on the neighbor!* Since you share the same IP address, it's foolproof!

*don't really do this.
