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' ...
That happens but its rare to get the exact same ip that was banned at random..

I did see it happen once before tho and the guy called up the game company and realized his account wasn't banned just that ip so they fixed it.
