what you on about mate im not hooson im doggers what you on about

 

 

well, your using the same IP address, as are a few other forum names,

 

I cant see any valid reason, why members should have multiple user names, and will post in the mod section, that we have a clean up and delete everyone using more than one name

Doubt it.

 

But it might mean some people don't get 'backup' for specious arguments.

you need to be careful with ip addresses. some isps like aol will give everyone the same ip. you need to contact the isp to find anything out.

i copied this. it explains it better. iv banned a aol ip once and ended up banning 15 different members.

A lot of internet companies use so-called "proxy-servers" through which their subscribers connect to the internet.

 

The result is that, for the outside world, all these subscribers have the same IP address (and for the computer-illiterate on that forum that apparently means there's only one subscriber... d'oh!).

 

On the *inside* of the proxy, you have your own unique IP address *for that network* (probably one that starts with 10.0 or 192.168)

 

The only way to *not* go through a proxy is to request a static IP address (I don't even know if AOL allows that) which is accessible from the internet - but then you're opening a whole 'nother can of worms (susceptibility to DDoS attacks, worms, Trojans, messenger spam, stuff like that.

 

Behind a proxy, you're *somewhat* protected (and with AOL it's like sitting behind a 50 feet thick concrete wall, but that's diverging into opinion-land)) - with a static IP, you're on your own regarding firewalls and services.

 

EDIT

 

Ahh... As the person below me correctly stated - dialup customers often share IP addresses; providers assume that not all dialup customers log on at the same time.

 

Regardless... that IP address is an *inside* (AOL only) IP address. You're still going through the proxy server, where you have the same IP address as thousands of other AOL users according to the rest of the world
