Oh wow. Just read this thread:

I guess that Evony can say goodbye to all players who play from University dorms and computer labs, High School and Jr. High School computer rooms, public libraries, customers of AOL, and those playing from small areas or countries with limited IP's.

My fiance plays Evony, too. Luckily for us, he only plays on one server, and it's one I don't play on.

I can guarantee that this will cause a huge problem, as many people play from public IP's and have no idea who else might play.

The only way to solve this issue is a "same IP block". This allows for people like the OP, and even perfect strangers within the same town, to continue playing, but with no way to "cheat" or derive benefit should they in fact be cheating.

Get with it, UMGE...this is a shot to the skull of the game here. My guess is a good 25% of all players play off of shared IP systems, and most of them are NOT cheating.
