Re: OT: IP address
I do hunt-downs on people all the time for various services. Most people dont realize how visible and needed an IP is. Internet connections arent 'open a line and hold it'. Everything you do is sent in packets and every packet has your IP. Every email, every newsgroup post, every file download, everything you do includes your ip if someone knows how to read it. Even your Posts here, chats, visitng web pages, although for those its only the admins at the site which can usually see it.
The only "alternative" is various ways to bounce off of another system so that they see that IP instead of yours. The responses go back to the bounce system which then puts your IP back in and sends it to you. You are still trackable but the path is more involved. So you might set up a program to hide your IP using that program but its worthless if you connect by some other means like sending them an email.
