*sigh* bullis, you really need to STFU. You know absolutely nothing
about computers.

No, you're confusing that comment with yourself.

No. One IP - One DEVICE. At a TIME.

If both you and I are on the same ISP, we cannot - at the same time,
have the same IP. If, however, I get the IP 1.2.3.4, and then I
disconnect, depending on the lease time, you can connect an hour later
and then also get 1.2.3.4 - but not at the same time as me.

And, if you're sitting in your motel room with your one laptop for
you, and two laptops for each of your blow up sheep, they will all
have different IP's. Your router may have the IP 1.2.3.4, but your
laptop will have a IP of 192.168.1.5, and one of your blow up sheep
will have the IP 192.168.1.7 . So yes - in a sense, one IP equals one
person - at a time

> Evan fails to understand that many websites can share the same IP.

No, again, that's YOU who fail to understand that. You asked "how then
can multiple websites run on the same IP"?

I run and manage a number of web servers, quite a few on the same IP.
I had to explain to you how it was possible.

I explained it to you over and over, your feeble brain couldn't grasp
the concept.

Huh?

"Software within the routing system?"

Uhh IT is my full time job, bullis.

You've proven to know nothing about anything computer related, so shut
up and quit while you're ... oh hell who am I kidding, you're not
ahead, you're WAY behind.
