Same IP, though we are in diiferent cities. (in Public Record)

A friend of mine (Memnot) who works at a different branch of the same corporation recently started playing, and, being curious, I checked out his IP. It is the same, despite the fact that we work 30 miles apart! I understand why they are the same IP's, I just wanted any interested parties to know that we are not multi-ing. Thanks.

why are they the same IPs?

Corporate firewall, mandatory (transparent/nontransparent) HTTP proxy, all locations in same LAN/VPN, single Internet exit, etc.

In english, that means all of your computers go through one box or router which on the inside (in your company) you can distinguish each computer from each other, but from the outside (the internet) you all have the same ip address
