I'll try to explain.
Usually, you have a
modem with a router connected to it or sometimes a router and modem in the same device.
With this solution, every computer/notebook/handheld device/etc. shares
the same IP.
But, it's also possible that you have a
modem and a switch.
This gives
every device its own IP.
So if you have two computers, both attached to a switch, each computer will have a different IP and you'll be able to 'bypass' the IP limit.
One problem could be that your ISP (Internet Service Provider) doesn't allow you to have more than X IPs.
The latter can be compared to multiple, separate internet connections.
So, if you for some reason would have say,
two internet connections, each with their own
modem and router, you would have
two IPs.
This isn't often the case though, as the only reason I can think about why you would have two internet connections is that you changed from an old ISP to a new one but you wanted to keep your old email address.
