Not sure how two people would play one computer. Thought it would be assumed everyone has their own ip address and computer.
IP Addresses are not unique per individual. They're unique per internet connection.

Your brother has nothing to worry about when it comes to IP Address and boxing, since he's playing from a different state. If he's visiting you (or vice versa) this could becoming a problem down the line. Your wife will likely be sharing your IP Address, since you're likely using the same internet connection.

The point of "1 person, 1 computer" is advising against 1 person manning multiple computers, not multiple people on one computer.
