Default IP Linking (worried..)

I use a mobile dongle, and everytime i plug it in, i disable my main network adapter. I have just realised i HADN'T disabled my main network adapter, and have logged into 5 of my strong accounts with the same IP address (on different user accounts).

I have a suspended account under this IP address, and now i am absolutely bricking it.

Is it over for me and all my accounts? Has anyone got away with doing this?

Logged in and did stuff or just logged straight out?

I found this:

"Sorry, I must agree with rsot and iso here. Assume ips are recorded, and since ebay and paypal are pretty much one in the same, I'd go so far as assume they are linked... although VERY minimally. Like others have stated, a one time occurance will not be enough to get the account suspended.

If, however, you were to log into the new account AND the old account over and over and over... it may be a different story."

By a member called kris.

Is this true?

ive done this exact thing numerous times. i find that if i have the dongle plugged in and the wifi on my laptop on at the same time, the dongle is the main ip as shown when i go to IPBurger.com. i have not had any problems to date doing this. but i would not recommend making it a habit

5 lots of info turning up on the same IP as a once off should fly.

The ISP may have had a techincal glitch for the reasons they have. Accounts may have had a different IP.

It's not (quite) panic stations.

Take it as a wake-up call.

Be far more careful with your IP whenever you touch your account(s).

I say this as a user who has ripped the power cord out in panic more times than I care to admit.
Does tend to be a repeat of using banned IPs & other poor behaviour that makes problems.

Are you using aspkin's IP Burger - Help Display Your IP Address! & your execl sheet to check every step? Be more proactive :D
