Psycho Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 That IS their external IP address - which is the same as their router's IP address if they are behind one. The router gets an external IP address from the ISP and then the router uses NAT to route (hence the name router) traffic between the internet and the user's internal network. If they are able to change their external IP, there is not much you can do about it.You *could* block all IPs on their network (i.e. 123.123.123.*). but, then you run the risk of blocking legitimate traffic.
