check this file to see if any one/thing has screwed with your local resolution/dns stuff:

c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\lmhosts

make sure you look in the file lmhosts, NOT lmhosts.sam (sam means sample).

This file should, for all intents, be empty or at a minimum, have everything commented out (lines start with a #).

It wouldn't be a ban on our end. In-game bans aren't related to forum bans, and forum bans, to my knowledge, aren't done... a particularly troublesome poster might get put on mod preview, but that's about it. It's got to be at your end, or a point along the line from your location.
