Actually i'm a newbie and it's helped me.

But i dunno why phase1retaliate answered this though lol. What i'm wondering is, and i've been wondering for a while now : when you see people in the films try and trace someone and they've only got a limited amount of time to get off the line before the trace get's to them, is this done by using each location as a different proxy?

I've been trying to work out how it could actually happen, not so that i could do it but just so that i can understand how it works just for the sake of knowing. Ha, i'm no hacker anyway i only just found out how to make a new folder in windows!!! (and even then i had to ask. )
