ok, before everyone decides what happens, and why people are coming up with the same ip address let me explain how yeshivanet works (or doesnt 😉 ).

a typical isp is unfiltered. this means you technically have a direct line to the internet. your isp gives you a ip address, no different then the post office giving the house/apt you live in a home address.

now yeshivanet, koshernet, or any other filter isp is very different. they have huge super-servers, or rent, and those computers are filtering the internet. you are connecting to an internal network on the internal side, no different then, say, a person at work with multiple sub corporations. take aig before the meltdown. chances are they had one source of internet service (could be multiple t3’s, but still one gateway to the internet filtered through their firewall). this internet trickled down to their mortgage company, insurance company, investment company, etc.

so, a person receiving internet through yeshiva/kosher net is really attaching to their network, as a vpn of sorts. when the moderator would see this, he will see many people using the same ip address. the only thing i ask is why only you two. there has to be tons more on a site like this?

as a side point, if any of you are not happy with the service or alot of stupidity blocked using kosher/yeshiva net, you can try the evangelical service providers. its a shame, but they are more pleasant to talk to on the phone, more curtious, and their services is phenomenal. they don’t block stuff that should not be blocked, like hospital websites.
