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 ?
