Is it possible that two computers on a network would have the same IP address? this seems to have been a case which affected the login on my site, and cause two people to be logged into each others accounts.

Is this an internet or intranet site?

Then it is likely that their computers do not have the same IP address but that they go through a proxy to access the internet and it is the proxy's IP address that you are seeing.

Or they could have the same IP address at different times if they have dynamically assigned rather than static IPs on their network.

Thanks, they were both logged on at the same time so that suggests its was a proxy server instead.
I'll have to code some cookie's into my login feature i guess, something i've been avoiding !
