Entering same comp twice under same IP?

Options
I'm not amazingly technologically minded so please bare with me on this

My boyfriend would like to start comping, but I know that some comps record your IP address, we have the same IP as we're using the same router. Of course we would only enter the 'one entry per household' ones once, but just wanted to know if anyone here comps and has someone in the same household comp too and had any success? Will it matter that we both have the same IP, providing the terms don't stipulate one entry per household? Don't want the sites to think I'm entering twice under different names and delete my entries
Thanks :)

    I asked this question a couple of months back and I was told by someone she used to enter for her husband and daughter so me and my partner have both been entering for a couple of months however we do share the same computer I am not sure if that makes a difference.

    I can say that we have both managed to win MAG dailies as well as the shortlist ones even though they say one entry per household. We have won ones with random companies - so I am not sure whether it depends what companies as I cant say we havent won because we are both entering as we dont know.

    hope that helps

    I won the Sunday Times hourly comp the other Sunday, I entered with hubby's details first then again with mine, always had a 'captcha' for my entry which was done immediately after hubby's.
