    So, does anyone think I will get my account frozen if I use an abyer on my 2nd computer? I have 2 computers and am planning on using an abyer on my 2nd account on my 2nd computer. Both comps use the same internet connection but they have different individual IP addresses.

    Thx

    Different IPs are safer but they can still track down the items/NP.
    There is stilla risk just a smaller risk

    One interenet connection = one IP address

    If you connect to a router, individual computers will be assigned a unique IP by the router to connect to a local network... but when you go on the internet, you'll have the same IP address the router uses to connect to the internet.

    To verify your ip address that's being shown to the outside world... go to http://whatismyipaddress.com/ on both computers and you'll see they both have the same IP

    it will be the same.

    your best bet it to check if you have a dynamic ip (kinda like a big pool of ip's your isp will have and will auto select one when you connect) and if so, disconnect and reconnect when you use different accounts.

    with me so far?

    the router should be located at (if its anything like mine) 192.168.0.2 (may have to change the 2 to a 1 or something. you can disconnect/reconnect there.

    failing that, use the handy off switch at the back of the router

    failing THAT, just pull out the power lead :p

    Or just use a proxy on your second computer.

    They can still find you even through proxy now.

    That's a pretty good idea.
    For those that have two PCs and want one to run on broadband..and other one to run on dial up.
    Pm me and I'll share you information to free dial up :)

    is the dial up really slow though. What would be neat is free wireless internet if you are by a major city
