I am having the same issue. I tried re-installing w3 and double checking my cd-key codes but it doesn’t work. The CD keys I use are from 2004 (saved on my email). I have never played ladder, used bots, spammed, or used 3rd party software. Why is my IP banned?

I am having the same issue. And have legally purchased copies (Again, since I used to own them but moved countries and lost them). No idea what to do. Anyone managed to solve this yet?

I never have been using any third party application (bought wc3 18 years ago), what is this mess with the last update? It’s so disappointing that you have paid your money, followed all the rules, but get continually temporarily restricted. So consumer unfriendly, Blizzard.

I have the same issue now. It worked fine before. How we can fix it?

Same issue as the rest. Is there any clear fix? or willingness from blizzard support to even look at it? Like some of the others in this thread, i have owned warcraft 3 and the expansion for nearly two decades. And still find myself in this diabolic charade, which seems to have no conclusion

Im getting the same damn message and I haven’t downloaded a hack since i’ve bought this game when RoC came out.

Whats going on @blizzard

EDIT: Fixed the issue, as others suggested flush your Dns.

HOW TO DO THAT:

press WINDOWS KEY+R
Type “cmd” without quotes in the box.

A black command prompt will open up. type the following and then press enter
ipconfig /release

After you typed that and pressed enter, type the following and press enter again
ipconfig /renew

Viola! You should be ready to go, and war3 should allow you to connect to bnet once again.

Thank you. I tried another suggestion similar to yours, and it did not work.
But this worked, so thank you once again.
