You have one IP per internet connection, regardless of how many computers are using that network connection.
In other words, if you have 20 PCs, and your ISP has assigned your modem the IP address is 143.143.143.143, every PC you have is connecting to the internet through that modem, and therefore has that same IP address of 143.143.143.143. Your IP address isn't owned by the PC, it's owned by the modem.
Each PC will have an internal IP address as well, but that's not what the internet sees, that's what your local network sees and uses to talk other PCs on the network.
All that aside, Maple generally doesn't care what IP address you're using or how many times, because dozens of people with the same IP address are pretty common due internet cafes, large households, libraries, starbucks and everywhere else.

It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
