Can two people have the same IP address?

I wonder if there is to many computers out there with the same address like a lot of cars with the same key.

So how do you fix it or how do you defend yourself if you kicked off of a site?
I have a site that I am making about 5 dollars a week and like the little extra money I get and do not want to get kicked out because of an error message.

i donot know how to fix it??when such an error occurs,i simply close down the site or take the help of some computer engineers,who fixes it for me.

I have been told your IP address can change and so it is possible for someone else to have the same address as you do. I did not know that.

This sounds like the most likely problem. Make sure you know how often this site allows you to click the same ad, and then give a little extra time. Also make sure you don't accidentally load the ads twice (by hitting reload, clicking too many times, or whatever).

Exactly! So try this first and let us know if you have any further problems.

I know it is not that because I go to these sites once a day around the same time of night.
I did find out we do change IP addresses and there fore if the IP address' number pool is limited then here is a chance that someone with your old address can click on the pages before you.

Really? Oh well, if you're talking about Internet connections that constantly change their IP address would then make your statement true. I forgot to think about the possibility that after you've been on one someone else would use it. We do need to realize though unless it is hidden an IP address will disclose the location of that IP. This would then negate your point of view. If the IP discloses the address of it's location then it can't say that both parties are on the site at the same time from the same place. That would only be possible if someone were hijacking the Internet connection and using a proxy wouldn't it?

I think you are right, my son says that my internet browser does change the IP address. I thought that the IP address stays with the computer.

The IP address only stays with the computer under certain circumstances. I'm not sure how those work. Even a person on dial-up can get a different IP every time they connect.

thanks for your information that is what I am learning. I did not know that before. I was under the impression that once you got an IP address it stuck like your physical address unless you moved or got a new computer.

What you can do is go to your favorite bookstore (Borders, Barnes & Noble) and go to the Internet/Computer section and look for books in the Dummies series. Like Computers for Dummies or maybe Networking for Dummies. These are great books with lots of information and the author may be Andy Rathbone. If you have a little difficulty just ask an employee what you are looking for in the Dummies series.

That's how I learned a lot of the information I know. The Dummies books including but not limited to Dummies for Windows 98/XP/Vista, Dummies for Networking, Dummies for DOS (if still available) and a whole lot more. You'll be surprised at how much you can learn from these books.

Also you can go to their website and pick up a few e-newsletters to sign up for to your email. They are packed with lots of information and tips.

www.dummies.com and it has a link to buy the books from them directly if you so choose.

Thanks for the information. The person who wrote the first book started a trend and is rich now.

He may be rich in $ but the intelligence he has will be with him always.

Isn't that true with us all

It sure is

thanks for your information

I thing this is a good answer for you. When I downloading from a host, I got message that my IP address is currently downloading a file. This happen when I was connect from an internet cafe. The host just allowed one downloading for one IP address. So, I can tell you that two peoples can have the same IP address.

Nice. That was almost word-for-word waht I was going to say. I will add though that you don't have to get off the internet to get a new IP; most ISPs will reassign addresses every 24-48 hours no matter what.

thanks for the information

Also, some ISPs assign private internal addresses to all of their customers, then they share a block with the same public IP using NAT, just like a router at your house, only you are connected to one that hundreds of people are connected to.

thanks for the information I sure am learning a lot.

Thanks for the information. I do not know what went wrong.

Thanks for responding, Hugs to you

No one here using my computer on in the house. It is only my hubby and I in the house and no one visiting.

Yes I am the only person with an account. I am the only one in the house who uses my computer. My hubby works two days and does not use my computer. He does not even know how to search the net so I do not think it was him. We have not had any guests who could have gotten into my bookmarks. I think it was an error on their end.
