Question about IP addresses

Archived from groups: alt.games.unreal.tournament (More info?)

Howdy all,

I was reading through the log file of my sniper server. I saw something
that I am not sure what to make of. I have 5 people playing off of the
same IP address from different ports. Is this something that I should
be concerned about?

The server is Red Hat 7.3, Unreal Tournament 451, there is not Pure
running at this time.

I did not even think about that when I was reading it. Makes sence though.
