Help with IP Address Please!

[LeslieCA1]

Hi! New here, and looking for answers!

I recently joined a site which only allows each user one account. I was originally denied my account because the administrator claimed that I already had an account. I begged and pleaded, and I was eventually allowed the account. Now two weeks later, admin has come to me again, saying I have multiple accounts and have filled out multiple registration applications. I'm pretty sure I will get the boot pretty soon.

I really am at a loss, as I only have one account on the site, and I have only filled out one application for my account. Admin says that's untrue, as my IP address has been flagged.

I use AOL through Time Warner, however I have been using IE or Firefox recently. My ISP says that I do have a dynamic IP address.

So, please can someone more computer literate than I let me know whether it is possible for the same IP address to show up on the same site? It is a small site, only about 400 members right now.

Thanks much for any help or info you can give me!

If you are on the same router as someone in the same forum you will always have the same address. If you randomly did get someones IP you dont want to keep, just restart the MODEM (not router). It will get a new IP address.

Not quite sure what you mean in regards to router. You mean the one in my home or one belonging to ISP?
So it would be possible for a perfect stranger to share the same IP on the same site? And the odds of this would be....?

Thanks again for your help!!
