Title: IP address question Post by: DaveShoelace on December 16, 2008, 08:18:28 PM My girlfriends laptop and my desktop both use the same internet connection, would the IP address that shows up on a poker rooms records be different for each device (I know they would be able to detect when 2 accounts are at the same address).
She wants to play poker on my computer, but Im scared the internets police will get me so Ive told her to play on her laptop, lol.
