What is the game? Perhaps they are blocking you by an internal
User/Player ID number.
I know that's how "effective" blocking is done in CounterStrike:Source.

It is impossible that they banned a block of addresses of my ISP, because that
is a webserver where you "play games": most of the people playing games there
use my same ISP and also live near me.
I am sure that my IP address changes in couple of hours after disconnections.
I deleted cookies, changed computer name, used different browsers....
ActiveX controls are disabled by default on Internet explorer.
I really don't understand how they can ban me.
Are you all sure they cannot know my MAC address? I think they know it when I
connect to the server (i remember something of TCP/IP stack and
encapsulation/decapsulation)....
Most likely they might have blocked the entire pool of IP belonging to
your ISP try to visit the website with a proxy server

It will work for as long as your IP is valid. They can also ban the
entire IP block (aka, your ISP)
- computer name can be changed
- mac address can be changed (even I wasn't able to, because I have a usb
dsl
modem and I cannot change its MAC working with regedit or using tools
like
smac )
Your browser will not (or should not, anyway) reveal your "computer
name" or mac address.
Anything else ?
User-agents and referers. Some browsers can send quite a bit of
information in the user-agent string.
It could also be a content filter between you and the web site in
question. Schools and parents setup these to censor the surfing of
children. Many companies filter their content too, due to the
distraction (and legal ramifications) brought about by warez and
pornography.
How the hell do they recognize me ?
By the tin-foil hat ;)
