One MG's, one mine, and one is my daughters who was a GP Captain a long time ago. All IP's were different, that's all I know about the IP crap. So are you saying that the IP's are different on the computer, but they all run through an outside IP that is the same? or something like that.......

That switch box is actually a router. Those IPs on the computers are your local IP addresses. All three computers share the same internet IP in your case since they have to pass through the router to get access to the internet. And yes, the local IPs can be anything you want, but when you access an outside network like the internet, it uses the IP assigned to your cable modem from the ISP. Hence, MG and your IPs will be the same not only on these forums, but on Graal as well.
