Same IP adresses twice

[the whaler]

Hi James
Is it possible to logon to a server from 2 pc's at the same home address.
I have some lines in my config where some ip addresses are logging in twice after each other. I can only emagin that a few users login with two pc's. Normally this would not be a problem (one can go to the internet with more pcs on the same home address).

I frequently get complaints that people get kicked off from the server during flying sessions and I now noticed this in my logs. (see attached some detail).
Just wondered if this happens with more people (3 in the session last tuesday) that this might cause problems.
Thanks for your help.
Best wishis for 2010.
Regards.

It can easily happen if someone has more than one computer at a location that is sharing a router. Happens often at youth centers where I use Flight Simulator as an educational tool.

I don’t see anything non-standard about the log entries you showed.

As far as people being disconnected they might look at the FSInn/VATSIM FAQ on our front page http://flightsim.apollo3.com about resolutions to those issues.

Just out of curiousity James.
FS as an educational tool, sounds like fun.
