You have a scammer tag, it's possible that because of this, and you being on the same IP, that he cannot make an account. It is already true that when multiple people use the same household IP to connect from, both may be punished for one scamming, so making new accounts on a Scammer-tagged user's IP address would definitely raise a red flag.
In the future, you should post these in General Help, for faster and more detailed answers, or even a Moderator answer.
