Hide My IP Address from web Sights
Hello,
I have had a very big hole at www.zone.com and hackers finding my IP add....
I was wondering could i hide my IP from the web server, which they are receiving it from.
Also is there a way to hid not just the IP but all the Gateways and Masks.
Can i also change my IP to a number like 00.000.00.0 or like 101.01.001.1
Thanks,

Shame on you Captian, this is not the lounge.
bugmemore asked a serious question.
bugmemore you cannot change your ip address and still access the internet.
There is no reason why you should need to change your ip address unless you are a criminal or a spammer.
If you are using a good firewall, it doesn't matter if your ip is public.
Also if you are a typical US home internet user, you have whats known as a dynamic ip, which means that your internet provider changes the ip address at various times.

Anonymous surfing is a lot different then what the question asked.
He specifically wanted to know how/if he can change his ip to protect himself from hackers.
I explained that a firewall is what is needed for hacker protection, then later explained that he cannot change his ip and still be able to access the internet.....

This is my recommendation for hiding info about your IP and browsing via a proxy.
Java anon proxy
http://anon.inf.tu-dresden.de/win/download_en.html
Uses a secure tunnel to the proxy in germany via a program running on your machine - mixes your browsing with other users of the system and creates a local proxy port for your browser to use rather that port 80.
Nice solution and it's free.
used in conjuction with a firewall, this is most affective.

You all are still not answering my question.....
None of those web sights are free or working.....

I did answer your question, which was basically that you were trying to hide your IP from hackers.
I said;
"If you are using a good firewall, it doesn't matter if your ip is public."
A good firewall or firewall program will protect you from hackers.
If what you really want is to surf anonymously, then you need to close this question and ask another with the title, "Help me to Surf Anonymously"

Yes, they have all answered your question

That was not one of your stated requirements, but yes, some of the solutions offered are in fact free, and all of the posted links to other web sites are working
>I was wondering could i hide my IP from the web server, which they are receiving it from.
YES - use any of the anonymizer solutions posted above

NO - you cannot change your Public IP address. You can change your PC's IP address to anything you want as long as you are using a NAT router, but the only IP address seen by the web site is your public IP either from your router or directly from your PC

I gave a good answer
There were several good answers
Sure you can!
I'm guessing that no one (including your ISP) will want to talk to you if you do, but hey, go for it...
Cheers,
