I'm taking a wild stab at this.
The person is most likely using a DMZ configuration so the static internet IP address is assigned on his local PC and on the router without using DHCP. However, the subnet mask was probably changed very slightly to still allow functionality and might evade the ban if the 2 values (Static IP & Subnet at the time of banning) don't match up.
