I know you can register for the same tourney at several sites on the same network but how are you opening 2 sites from the same network at the same time???this is not possible unless you have 2 computers with different ip address no???

oh yeh, totally legal. they encourage it even..
I think most tourneys are across the site, except freerolls and ones that include the room name in the tourney name...I'm not sure how you'd be able to tell for sure... although the number of people registering to the tourney would be a bit a a clue.

Sorry to say but it is not true. I tried it in the past and it didnt' work: I registered in a tournament on a ipoker skin (TITAN), then closed it and opened a new skin (expekt) but when trying to register to the same tournament a message like this popped up: "there was a problem with your registration, contact support".

You should have tried to register first on Expekt and then on Titan. Might have worked

Yep, two PCs should work, maybe even two virtual machines on one PC. But it would be cheating!

Sorry but nope! This solution won't work thus your ip is the same. You can do it in a PC but you need to work a little more You can run two different clients in two different pcs. In some cases you cannot register in the same stuff, for instance a SnG. They detect both computers owns to the same network

Ok, that makes more sense already! You could probably do it by going through a proxy server on one or both PC's, but it might be a bit slow going.
The whole thing seems funny to me that it might be possible, because you could "collude" with yourself!!

Don't discard this option in any case ...
Yep, in both cash and sng / mtt it happens that players colludes with friends or "themselves". I always keep this in mind at the table when more people are involved in a pot.
