Uhm, while IP addresses are fairly persistent they are not guaranteed to be permanent by your ISP. It'd really suck if your real-life neighbor got banned for cheating and then you wouldn't be able to play after the next power outage or reboot of the cable/DSL modem got "his" old DHCP lease (e.g. IP address) on your cable/DSL modem.

In the almost two years that I've played P'99 off and on my cable modem has had at least 6 or 7 IP addresses assigned to it...

Just sayin' ...
