Alright all,

Anyone know about IP address's?

This is all kind of linked to banning people by their IP address!
It seems impossible to do much if a user has a Dynamic IP address without banning someone else, is this correct or are there ways of controlling em?

Also do ISP's that use static IP address's give each of their users a unique IP address or is it possible for them to give two of their users the same address, do they ever do this?

Probably basic stuff but I just wanna be sure of what I'm doing

Cheers, Robin.

two computers cannot have the same IP address at the same time. most users have an assigned IP (as opposed to a static one), so if that IP expires, they may be given a different one.
