Hold Reset for 5 seconds to put the chip into sleep mode. Three seconds is not long enough. If you didn't actually get online with the game before the error occurred you shouldn't be banned.

From standby mode, power on the PS2 by holding the Reset button for 5 seconds (until the background with the blue squares appears) to put the Magic 3.1 chip into sleep mode. In this mode, your PS2 should behave identical to an unmodded console enabling you to run DNAS enabled software.

That shouldn't matter. Unfortunatelly I seem to recall people posting here with regards to DNAS games detecting older Magic chips including the 3's even when in sleep mode. If that's the case there is no solution to your problem.
