Actually ip addresses can have multiple users attached..... We once tried to ban an ip address(known spammer) years ago and ended up locking out quite a few regular s&m users 
.... So banning an ip address, like willy's , might lock out a few other members.... It's almost like an "area code" for phones, just not as large an area.

So, it is like maxwell said, "every modem has an IP address" and the people who register from that modem have the same address. I would be the chit disturber and my better half would be the nice person. Blocking the IP address, blocks us both!

That's a different story. Some ISP will service there clients almost like a wireless router. Terrible concept but some rural areas are setup like that. Or if there is a glitch in the isp system shelling out same ip addresses. this does happen.Any urban wired provider will have separate addresses. Blocking ip addresses doesn't last forever. If you power off your router and reconnect to the ISP sometimes they will assign you a new IP address. But not always

Correct. There is an address for your modem, then each computer has a superset local network IP address. Unfortunately they are blocking the modem address which locks out everyone on that local network.

If you are through a provider in a larger city each line into the house will give a separate ip, if you have a modem on a line all comps on that modem have the same ip.....
I rural areas if you are on wireless. That wireless provider will buy his service off of another provider. Their tower is basically a large router transmitting service to who ever buys from them giving all those who get their service from that secondary wireless provider the same ip

close! Plio is correct in his explanation. Cell phones & other mobile devices on cellular networks are even worse! If I browse on my Telus cell phone, I am using hte same IP as HUNDREDS or THOUSANDS of other Telus Cell Phones. You will always have a local IP address on your device but as it goes out to the world it become under one for your home then cabinet then provider and so on.
If you are ever curious and want to see this in action, if running windows open a Command Prompt (Start, Run, Cmd, enter) then type in tracert www.snowandmud.com and look at all the IP hops you go across just to get to snowandmud

I kinda like knowing it. Brings some of those TV dramas into perspective. You know the ones. Where they track you down to your bedroom instantly just by back tracing your IP address, then turn on your webcam without you knowing it.....and there you are naked in a bean bag chair eating Cheatos!
Wait....what were we taking about?
