Several years ago I tried explaining the concept of shared IP's.
Evan fails to understand it.
He is under the assumption, one IP equsls one person.
Evan fails to understand that many websites can share the same IP.
Although there are websites out there that will show you just how many
websites reside on any given IP.

An IP is assigned to a server. Not each and every PC or machine.
Software within the routing systems keeps track of who gets what and when.


And this comes from a guy who claims to be an IT expert in routers?
