Note that a firewalled node CAN BE a UltraPeer. What is really needed is to accept incoming connections on the configured port. This does not forbids firewalls or NAT routing devices.
Humm je le sais, it's obvious Philippe....

Even in the 2 other examples shown as screenshots just above this message, it is really possible that two hosts (with distinct GUIDs) share a connection with the same visible IP, and even the same shared directories (which may be on a mounted local network shared disk).
For Gnutella, they may even be two distinct UltraPeers each one with its own set of connections. So they participate to the topology. Servents are not uniquely identified by their IP but also by their port number for incoming connections. As the first ping that is exchanged between connected host will contain this port number, they will be distinct.
There is one chance out of 50 billions that this eventuality happens .... Admit it, there are 10 millions more chances for this to be a bug and a lottery happening
Possibilities are one thing (what you describe CAN happen, but can it have happened a couple of times on my computer and on the one of Stief-- no!) , but you have to look at the probabilities sometimes...

Philippe, t'es sûr que tu n'as pas un diplôme en philo? Moi je suis plus du type statistisques
