Default Re: MP Problem Fixed with Alternate Method

Im also ancient on the net but in addition I have worked for Internet providers.

Many ISPs maintain a small IP pool which they assign to a large body of customers randomly each time they connect. So for those customers such an arrangment is common. Not to mention people who are still using dialup and various other non-permanent solutions without a home network.
