Me and Bigwiggle live a few miles from each other and go through the same ISP, and we have to try to beat each other to it every day. It must only match the first two octets, like qzjul said. And Havoc- if you're connected at your university, chances are you're sharing an IP with hundreds of people.
I know proxies are frowned upon around here, but this is a situation where they come in handy. When the bonus thing acts up (bigwiggle gets to it first), I use http://www.hidemyass.com/ and just copy and paste the entire URL from the MMORPG site in there. You might run into problems if other people are using it... I don't know how many different proxy servers that site actually has set up.
