Exactly, and just how does it verify that you are you? Among other data
is your ip address, and anything that changes that is going to throw up
additional are you "you" checks.

Huh? I'm talking about the TDE Wiki... Hey all,
I'm guessing the Wiki changed or something? I tried to log in, it
said my account didn't exist. I created a new account with the
same credentials, it logged me into my old account. It said I
needed to confirm my email address (same one I use here), email
never showed up. After an hour I asked it to resend, it said it
did. After another ~3 hours now, neither has shown up.
What do?
Call your ISP and see if they've changed something. Another
possibility is that you've changed something, like your router?

What does anyone's ISP have to do with that?
How your ISP determines your assigned ip is part of dhcp which your
router uses to obtain an ip address from your ISP. Change the router,
which changes its MAC address, and you'll get a different ip. I have two
routers in case one gets a tummy ache. In order to maintain a fixed
address when somebody clicks on the web link in my sig, I've had to
clone the MAC of the main router into the MAC of the backup router. I
am not paying for a dynamic registration, and haven't for 15 years.
I'm not saying thats your problem, but it would be close to the top of my
list of things to check if something went toes up.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
