Go to WWW.SIGNAL9.COM a cheap firewall that works fine. no nuke no problems like that is a good program ;p try it out.
You didn't mention yuor OS but maybe you can get something fot free. If you are a UNIX user than look at Socks,TCPWrappers and SSH.

You can find some great ip utils on www.tucows.com
You might want to look into a technique called IP spoofing. I've heard about it, but don't know how to do it. I makes the internet think your IP address is different than what it actually is.

I have tried IP spoofers, and they dont work. You are still stuck with the same IP regardless of what you do.
There is no such thing as an IP scrambler. The other side need to know your addr. in order to communicate. The only way to stop these sort of attack is to put a firewall, do packets filtering at your router. You could block certain ports those tools use. Upgrade your system with the latest patch. IP spoffing won't work nowaday unless you have a clueless network admin at your site. ssh, pgp .. etc works at the applications level. It does only encrypt your data on a specific apps. It's not a way to prevent you from nuke .. etc. You must upgrade your OS to the latest level and do filtering properly at your firewall & router.

TCP/IP are a pair of protocols that are used world wide. Simply encrypting them is not the way to go as it menas you'll be able to talk to no one.
a good solution to your problem is composed fo several parts:
1. Update your OS (which you didn't mention using latest patches
and update packs to reduce vulnerability).
2. Install some sort of firewall (either on your own workstation
or on a seperate computer and set a security policy).
3. if some connections are especially senstive encrypt them using a channe lencrypotion product like ssh (which still works over stnadart tcp/ip).
By the way, there is atandard for encrypting tcp/ip but it still not implemented widely enough and it is called ipsec.
