I was wondering if it was possible to have more than one account per IP address. I had never thought about it since I do not need more than one for myself. But I share Internet access with a sister and a brother as well as a couple of other people since we are all networked together.

So we have different computers but the same IP as we are all on the same account. Making a total of five people.

Or can I change my account to where it is shared? The person who wanted the account isn't even related to me but got nailed by the restriction when she tried to sign up. So is there any way I could change my user name to include both mine and the one she wanted?

We both have separate accounts elsewhere so obviously some submissions would be mine where others would be hers.

My thanks in advance for your help on this. ^_~

Username changes are historically a no. It involves messing with the database directly which is best avoided.

If you're on a dynamic IP, reconnecting will change it. If not your siblings may be able to start accounts through alternate connections. Once the account is established the IP isn't an issue (unless one of you gets banned in which case you'd all have access prohibited).

No we are not on a dynamic IP it does change but not very often. However if it doesn't matter once the account is set up then I'll tell her to set hers up at either a friends house or the library.

Thanks for the assistance. I appreciate it. ^_^

Sounds like a dynamic IP and a stable connection. My IP is dynamic and won't change for months if I don't disconnect my modem.
