This is a bit of a tricky question — the answer is both yes and no. More than one device can share the same external (public) IP address, but each device will have its own local (private) IP address. For example, your ISP (internet service provider) sets your home up with one external IP address. Since your router is what actually connects to the internet, the IP address is assigned to your router. Your router then assigns a local IP address to each device that is connected to the internet at a time. The external IP address is what is shared with the outside world. Your local IP address is not shared outside of your private home network.

Dit is in bytsje lestige fraach – it antwurd is sawol ja as nee. Mear as ien apparaat kin itselde eksterne (iepenbiere) IP-adres diele, mar elk apparaat sil in eigen lokaal (privee) IP-adres hawwe. Bygelyks, jo ISP (ynternetprovider) set jo hûs op mei ien ekstern IP-adres. Omdat it jo router is wat eins oanslút op it ynternet, wurdt it IP-adres tawiisd oan jo router. Jo router wiist dan in lokaal IP-adres ta oan elk apparaat dat tagelyk ferbûn is mei it ynternet. It eksterne IP-adres is wat dield wurdt mei de bûtenwrâld. Jo lokale IP-adres wurdt net dield bûten jo privee-thúsnetwurk.
