Virtually All Poker sites do not allow more than 1 sign up from a single address, reasons being that with more than 1 playing from an address you could control games.

The problem with changing your user name or account but still playing from the same address is that if you happen to win big money or the poker site does a random check on your IP address you will void any winnings if you have made any name changes without informing the poker site first.

It doesnt matter which pc you use as the details will still show the same IP address, more sites are now working together and are checking accounts and banning players who have tried to play using more than 1 computer and 1 name, I recently spoke to a admin assistant from pokerstars about my idea to start a sydicate, and was told that I have to be very carefull as any bet or hand played out of order that drew any suspition of a fraud would result in all members losing there rights to play and possibly any cash in the accounts.

The reason for security is obvious and the fact that many players are joining the same site using different family names to collect bonus offers, be carefull folks as I said it doesnt matter which pc you use the address will allways be the same and if you use some routers the sites wont allow you to join if they suspect you are trying to hide something.
