Well if you don't register your hostname on your local DNS it is hidden from lookups on your DNS.  However you will still need to deal with network browsing.  You can modifiy your IP settings to not use WINS if you have it and also to disable Netbios over IP.  This will keep you computer from participating in network browsing.  All of these settings can be accomplished with a Group Policy.

There is a program called Tcpview. Sometimes it will show the IP. But not always.

Not really.  You can disguise it by using an anonymous proxy server, but people can still find your IP if they work hard enough.

type "what is your ip address and your computer's name?"

You're not really asking the right question - but I understand what you're looking for. You don't want to run your own DNS server. You want a service to host dynamic DNS for your home IP, thus assigning it a permanent name. \n\nYes, there are such services - check out www.dyndns.com. You can create a free account and download a piece of software for your computer. By running that software, you're advertising your current IP address to dyndns.com. They are then taking that information and publishing a DNS entry associating it with a host name of your choosing.\n\nThis is great for a small scale website that you share with your friends. However, if you want something larger that gets a lot of traffic, it is best to put it on a server at your ISP or a web hosting company. Most home Internet connections have a lot of bandwidth for downloading but very little for uploading.

There is a web hosting server, which has got different virual folders setup as websites...more like a schema...those folders are locked with a referenced IP address. So when you type in the website address...DNS reosloves the name to the IP address...and gives you the website to  your browser!\n\nHelps??

google "ip hide". You will come up with some 30 day trial software that will let you select proxies from different countries.

You should use a combination.\n\nSpy Bot (http://www.safer-networking.org/)\n\n\nAd-Aware (http://www.download.com/Ad-Aware-SE-Personal-Edition/3000-8022_4-10399602.html?tag=lst-0-2)\n\n\nSpyware Doctor (IMO THE BEST ONE!)\nhttp://www.download.com/Spyware-Doctor/3000-8022_4-10377263.html

Use your hosts file.\n\nLocate the file as:\nWindows XP = C:&#92; WINDOWS&#92; SYSTEM32&#92; DRIVERS&#92; ETC\nWindows 2K = C:&#92; WINNT&#92; SYSTEM32&#92; DRIVERS&#92; ETC\n\nOpen it with note pad (it doesnt have a default program to open with so select it from the list)\n\nAdd the domain name that keeps opening then put some spaces and then put 127.0.0.1 so they are both on the same line.\nYou have to have <space>'s between, NOT tabs.\n\nwww.blurb.com    127.0.0.1\nblurb.com        127.0.0.1\n\nSave the file and whenever that site is requested in future it will fail to load as it will be using the address from your hosts file and not the DNS servers on the net.

Check your DNS address.  Or configure it to dynamic. Try start&#92;run&#92; type cmd and then type ping and then the IP of a website. (you can find it by going to a computer connected to the internet and going start&#92;run type cmd, then type tracert www.TheNameOfAnySiteYouWantHere.com  If your ping works, that means your DomainNameServer is not telling the computer that the the name it wants is at IP xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx  The only reason the DNS server would not grant the request for one but do it for all other computers is it cannot hear the request.\n\nWindows XP sp2 is the best Windows by far.  Linux is still better.  Try Ubuntu- it's free for the downloading.  http://www.ubuntu.com/ get an ISO to burn to a CD, or have them ship it to you for free.   You can boot off the CD and play around with it without having to install it.  Unless you just want to play games, and then you should stick to Windows.

the only way would be to add a counter/tracker. this won't tell you their name or ip number but it gives you other info. just paste the code they give you in your profile in the safe mode.\n\nhttp://www.sitemeter.com/

You could log onto the routers maintanence page and see wh ois connected to it, and see fi it has a logging function you can use to see who logged on previously.\n\nThe best way to stop other people to use it is to change the "SSID" name to one only you know, connect up your laptop and the turn "SSID Broadcast" to "off" so nobody can see yoru signal unless they know what it is called.\n\nUsing security like WEP etc. will also help stop unwanted people
