@Smartys: it sounds like he's saying that they actually do all have the same IP address (e.g. they're all connecting from the same school, office, etc.), not that PunBB is mistakenly showing users with different IP addresses as having identical ones.

If that's the case, then simply comment out or delete the following few lines of code in register.php:

82         // Check that someone from this IP didn't register a user within the last hour (DoS prevention)
83         $result = $db->query('SELECT 1 FROM '.$db->prefix.'users WHERE registration_ip=\''.get_remote_address().'\' AND registered>'.(time() - 3600)) or error('Unable to fetch user info', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());
84     
85         if ($db->num_rows($result))
86             message('A new user was registered with the same IP address as you within the last hour. To prevent registration flooding, at least an hour has to pass between registrations from the same IP. Sorry for the inconvenience.');
