Unfortunately, there is a finite number of IP addresses available so Internet service providers (ISPs) typically assign only one IP address per subscriber. Since many homes and small offices have multiple computers with access to the Internet, being limited to a single IP address can pose challenges. However, with NAT a small network of computers can share a single IP address to access the Internet.
