    I login To DigitalPoint From

    1. My Home Computer - Dynamic IP
    2. My Mobile GPRS Connection - Static I Guess
    3. From My College Net Corner Computer - Dynamic IP
    4.From Internet Caffes When I am There - Dynamic/Static

    And from My Home Computer, I have a LAN to My Near By Friends Propably 3 Since Our Houses are So Close :D

    It Seems, They Too Browse DP! So Whats The MEasure I Should Take? Or How Secure Am I?

    Well, I don't use it from net cafes but I do use it from GPRS and Broadband. No problem till now. My few friends do use same connection.
    And there won't be if you don't exchange reps, reviews, or itraders with your friends. :D

    Not At All :) I dont Exchange Reps Or itraders Or Anything With Them, And I am Not sure if They are still active here :D

    Well, When Ever Am Online, I am In DigitalPoint... Hence I Login From Cafe Too :)

    Will That Be A Problem?

    Yes, may be that cafe people try to steal your passwords. :D
    By installing some key-loggers. And thats why I never use DP from any other PC.

    If you haven't done so already, you may want to link your Facebook account for authentication purposes. That way if your account is stolen, you have a way to validate ownership. Using computers that aren't yours on networks that aren't yours is just asking for problems (like getting your logins/passwords stolen).

    My Question Is Not About the Account Security To a Hacker or Stealing Issue!

    I am Asking About The Account Duplication Stuff In DP :)

    Then why did you ask how secure you are? lol

    Unless you create a duplicate account, you don't need to worry about having a duplicate account.

    I meant, How Secure Am From Getting a Ban Since I login Whenever I have a PC With Internet Connection :)

    (I dont Worry About Account Being Stolen LOL :) I Kill Al The Unwanted Processes From Taskmanager Everytime I use a PC :D)

    Well as I said, unless you create a duplicate account, you don't need to worry about being banned for a duplicate account.

    And that prevents people from seeing your network traffic once it leaves the computer? :)

    Network traffic contains everything someone savvy would need to take over your account... login and a md5 hash of your password.
