Hi,

At my home and at my office, we use local network with IP in the series 192.168.1.x and we connect to the internet through a router installed by our ISP, with a static IP.

Once my friend voted in the voting booth from my office and everything was fine. Then later when I tried to vote, it said its already voted from that IP :( After I reached home, I could vote. Then I asked him to vote and he got the message "You have already voted from that IP (a.b.c.d)".

Me, being curious about this, went to my parents' place where I use broadband connection with DHCP. ie my router will get some IP assigned by ISP. Funny fact is that many time when I connect to the net, I am getting new IP. Whenever I got a new IP from my ISP, I could vote in the voting booth.

Is there any reason why its NOT per user? Is it because it allows to vote without login? Don't you think this need to be fixed?

(Reputation voting is per user and NOT having this issue)

Sorry to say that I have voted more than 5 times on the same poll, to test this.

Cheers !
