the same IP address, and if you use a modem to dial up to an ISP it can 
also have the same IP address. However, the second machine *must* have a 
different IP address, since it is a different node on the net.

If you are connecting to the Internet, you *must* have real, assigned IP 
addresses -- contact your ISP on that.
