Not sure how this works, but figured out the problem. I have a version of anonomyzer software on this computer which thousands of people use. It was probably displaying another ip address.

I have disabled this software from running, so it should be showing the correct ip, and not a "shared" ip.

How can we unblock this so we can make edits from our account, or do we have to create a new account?

Once you disclose what anonymising software you are using, I will unblock the account. You'll have to edit without using the anonymiser, though, as Wikipedia prohibits open proxies. --Yamla 21:29, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Yamla, The software is from www.anonomyzer.com. I have disabled it on this computer. My correct ip is 76.0.213.242. I'm not a "techie" and didn't realize this would create a problem with wikipedia. I will be sure to not have that software on when using my account with wikipedia. Sorry for any confusion this may have caused. Looking forward to becoming an active "wikipedian".

Thank you. You have been unblocked with my apologies. Please note that you did nothing wrong. The IP address was blocked because anonymizers tend to be used by abusive vandals. In this case, a particularly nasty banned vandal known as Verdict (talk · contribs). Welcome to Wikipedia, I hope this doesn't negatively colour your experiences. --Yamla 21:37, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! Don't mind being knocked around a bit so I can learn the ropes and become a active contributor. Thanks again.

Welcome
