Well, you *can't* really hide your IP address, you can only hide BEHIND another computer, a proxy. If nobody knew your IP, how could you get any information back from websites, etc?

The key is, the PROXY knows your IP address. Everyone else just sends it to the proxy, and they think that is probably you, but they might have a hard time telling that the proxy is actually working for a different computer.

Without a seperate computer running proxy routing software, or a hardware router , you can't really hide your IP address in an effective manner.
