I have created 5 diff accounts (2 from my external IP since thats where we both connect from, one from 127.0.0.1, one from my lan IP, and one from a randomly entered IP) Connecting to my server from any machine on this network gives the same account (or at least accesses the same account).

If you are running windows add this to the last line of your hosts file.
INTERNAL_IP SERVER_COMPUTERS_HOSTNAME
Mind you I am running a public server but this is what I have to do so the server could tell the different computers appart.
You will need to do this on all the computers.
Heres what mine looks like
