I would think an isp can tell if more than one system is on an IP. In my old apartment we would get messages that too many computers were connected and it would reject us. If they are all connected then each computer name will be accessing it leaving some sort of trail.

so you don't know how to setup a nat or too cheap to buy one of the routers that supports it by default.

actually the second is a bit of a flaw, you would be hard pressed to find a single wireless g or above router that doesn't do both nat and IP masquerading by default

it a hell of a lot more common than you think.


the network printer getting a lot of takedown request happened specifically because of ip masquerading it was because of one of those routers that acted as the print server as well. The pc on the private network were doing the actual downloading, the router/print server had the only public address to see from the outside world.
