Think villages/towns in the jungle, mountains or other remote areas that have 1 microwave uplink and wifi distribution among the vollage.

That is one massive routing nightmare. If you are all a universal IP to the net then you would all be getting kicked out of other games that actually look to prevent these exploits not to mention programs that check to see if possible pirating has taken place, not to mention super slow speeds if more then one user is using the same port you are.

I'm not going to say I'm a networking guru because I'm not, but to say that you have 1000 people connecting to the internet via one IP from the ISP sounds a bit farfetched to me. How are you being charged for service? Are you isolated from the AP by MAC? Setting up a office building's data infrastructure is different then creating a public access point.


But back to case at hand, worst case, you prove your innocence. A simple tracert command run could show what is happening.
