Full Version: Same Registration IP

Hey guys,

I have a general question: How is it possible that some people can register with the same IP they used already?

My settings in the ACP are: 

Maximum Registrations Per IP Address = 1

Time Between Registrations = 43800
(The amount of time (in hours) to disallow registrations for users who have already registered an account under the same ip address.)

I understand this as "the same IP cannot register again within 5 years". But I have many users that registered with the same IP. I used a "multiple registration detector" for that. 

How is that even possible? I thought the IP was "blocked from registration", thus a registration with the same IP should be impossible!?  Huh

Any explanations? I'm curious why this doesn't work 100%.
Try not using a comma.

I am not. ^^ I just did that for the readability of the post, sorry. The ACP setting has always been 43800
