There is a way to hide IP addresses. But is there any ways to change your computer's physical address?

yes you can. but please note that IP address is NOT physical address. you can change your physical address by buying a new ethernet adapter card and that should do it. HOWEVER, if you change it, it won't change your IP address because your ISP set it up for you (because it's static IP)

Your IP address is either dynamic or fixed.  They are assigned to you by your ISP or in the case of a corporate PC, by the LAN or WAN administrator.\n\nIn the case of a fixed IP address assigned by an ISP, just ask them to change the address.  This should either be free or very low cost.  \n\nIn the case of a dynamic IP address, it can change everytime you connect but will always be within a certain range and the address will repeat themselves.

You can use a proxy server,which connects you to another server besides your current one and that way your ip address is not shown.But make sure your proxy server is anonymous and not transparent.\n\nThere are many proxy servers online for free.One of them is www.proxy4free.com\n\nOr you can use a paid online anonymous browser www.anonymizer.com\n\nTo change your current proxy server,go to control panel,go to internet connections and add a proxy server.\n\nGood luck!!

Anyone can gain access to you IP address, but as previously stated, you should be safe.  It take a lot of hard work and long hours to get the exact location of a person based on their IP address.  It can be done, but it is long and tedious to accomplish.  kinda like one of those puzzles where you trace the line from one thing to see where it will end up on the other side, except the line is very thin, there are millions of other lines, and the line if VERY long.  Tedious process to get to the origin.  I would not worry about it really.  You can get security programs that will help prevent people from accessing your computer through your IP address and various ports if you feel unsafe because of it.

This is easy, if you have a router. That is what a router does. Nobody can see inside your computer if you are using a router. Besides you can go in and block his IP address from getting into you system anyway if you want to. Internet options and then advanced options, and add his addy there in security. Your router has more than one ports going out with different addys, and coming into it is your service providers. You see one in, and 50 out, it's beautiful.

http://checkip.dyndns.org/ \n\nThis web site give you your ip address. To change your ip address, you can change it by accessing control panel->Network connections->LAN(if you use lan) and right click properties->scroll to internet protocol. There you can change your ip address. But this depends on your ISP. Sometimes, your ISP will set your ip and you cant change it. But it change often depends on your isp

As already mentioned every computer uses an IP address and you can find out approximately where that computer is located (the name of the town or county or metropolitan area) easily. Past that you do have to goto the service provider, BUT its not a simply ask kinda thing unless you are law enforcement with a warrant. so if you're worried about some jerk telling you he knows where you are because of your IP address.. its very doubtful.

You are going to want to go into your router configuration by heading to http://192.168.1.1  Enter your username and password (if you are using the default values, there is no username, and the password is "admin" without the quotes.\nYou'll want to go to the Status Tab, usually on the far right, then you'll see an option to release the IP Address.  Click that, then a few minutes later, renew it.\n\nIf you require further assistance, feel free to email us at techsupport@thepcmonitor.com. Please reference your question in the email, so we can recall what steps we've already taken.

No they can't.\n\nThe best comparison is... if someone knows my home address, can they steal everything in my house.\n\nAn IP address is like a street address.  Having said that, if you don't leave your doors and windows open someone would probably break into your house.  Same with computers, you should use a firewall ( I prefer a hardware firewall/router) and make sure that your Operating system and applications are patched.

There is no point in banning IP Addresses. Most people have dynamic IPs today anyway. And the people who dont... they can use ARP poisoning to fake their IP Address. Also if an ISP recycles IP Addresses quickly you could be banning someone you dont want banned and, in the long run, losing hits on your site.\n\nEdit: But, what you can do... Have your site reconize cookies and send the person you dont want coming to your site a cookie, so when they go to the site the site will reconize the cookie and block him. But, of course, cookies can be deleted.
