    Is it possible for one MAC to have 2 IPs addresses ?

    Someone has been cutting off my Net connection in a LAN and I got NetCut; upon running it, I found some connections with 2 IPs

    Yes, you can have as many IPs on one physical adapter as you want.

    does it mean that the user is connecting to the Net using 2 IPs?

    Think of it this way. An IP address is just an address. If you use the postal service as a metaphor, you could have a physical mailing address (your apartment) and a tertiary mailing address (a post office box). Both are valid addresses, and you can get mail from both. Make sense?
