your IP address shows which country you are living,so the only way is to use a proxy server which is inside US so they can't  \nfind it out.you can find so many free proxyservers by searching in google.

Why do you feel the need to change your IP address? It's pretty irrelevant; anyone that wants to find it can find it very easily.

This IP address is a private/local IP address and if your machiene's IP is in the rage 192.168.X.X then this Machine(or domain) is inside your network.\nPlease contact your network administrator.He probably knows which machine it is!

May be possible in some cases. I'm using GAIM instead of Yahoo Messenger and in an IM window i have an "Info" button. Pressing it, in 80% of the cases, it shows the IP address of the person i'm talking to.

1. If you have to ask, you won't understand.\n2. You are asking how to create viruses on a public forum that records your ip.  How smart is that?

You are in a public forum that records your ip, and you are asking us how to steal?

A networking guide....\nPinging a site is literally transmitting a packet of information from your PC to the site. That packet of information has a timestamp of when you sent it, and then at the site, it sends the packet back, and viola, you get how much time passes when sending messages from your computer to the site. As for people hacking into your computer becuase of pinging, sorry, you read WAY 2 much into that. Pinging is a very good way to verify if an IP address is being used, that's about it.

dear curious boy, \nYou can get the IP address of the person you are chatting with     by propably asking he/she to go to your site or blog page.What happens here is that if you insert a small bit of html into your site then when the person acceses the page all the deatils about the person,not only the IP address but even system information and all detals about the connection and lots of other stuff gets recorded for you to come and check later .Try the link to get a better idea of what i mean .\nCheers\nSharan

Depends on where the IP is coming from.  If you are part of a network it may be just a request from a computer within your own network.  It could be a probe from your ISP or communication from a program you are using to a server on the Internet etc.  Some of these are harmless but others could be downright hostile.  If you are on a broadband connection make sure you have a hardware router with a firewall in place for added protection.

It is almost certainly not due to your conversations being watched.  If an IM Content scanner is in use you would have absolutely no idea since it would be on a spam port off a switch somewhere in your network\n\nYour problem is most likely due to some network oc PC issue.

according to your IP address,you are not telling the truth. But here... have some *ATTENTION* anyways. *rolls eyes*

Depending on the context, the source IP is the originating IP or your IP.  Sounds like you are talking about a firewall set up.

The site may have a timebased session active and hence after some time of inactivity or simply after sometime the site kicks users out\n\nAlso if the page has a "remember me" book you can tick it which creates a cookie so then when you return to the web site it recognises you IP address so make sure that you have cookies active

your computer has its very own ip address, through the ip address, people can find out, where you are from you internet connection, there is also some personal information, but dont worry, only the government is cappable of doing this, but beware of hackers!

If you get this message, and you are sure that nobody else is using your user ID somewhere else on the internet, AND if you have a router or firewall that shares the internet connection you use, then chances are that rouuter or firewall changed it's IP address recently (usually happens on a regular time period like 12hrs or something), and your service, in automatically logging you back in, detected the change.
