preventing multip[le signups by IP address

Hi folks,

Im trying to find the best way of preventing the same IP that has been logged into an account from registering a new account.

I run a poker forum that incentivises folk to signup, and I have seen a few cases of one person signing up multiple accounts... I do keep an eye out for it, but as the forum gets busier I need an automated IP solution to the problem.

Anybody got any suggestions? ideally when trying to go to register.php it would return an error message like "sorry, you have already signed up an account, only one account per user is allowed".

This could also work in conjunction with cookies, but preferrably by IP....

any suggestions?
