Ip Address

[Maximus359]

Hey all, i went to a web site where i did test of my computers weakness.

I found out that i had a couple 1 was USB plug & play device opening the internet for hackers & the other was me IP address, not fussed about that really untill it said that it was being brodcasted from the server? i was confused as all the other tests passed with flying colours execpt me IP.


I run Zonealarm Pro on me comp & it stealths all me ports & activity, but whats the point if i give me IP address on a plate to you?

Is there anyway of masking it so anyone can't get to it? Not like i wanna hide nothing :P but it's opening me to attacks from hackers.


Cheers

MAX

why not :blink: I have AOL and I have been trying to mask my IP address for a long time but no one knows how to do it on AOL. I use Internet Explorer to browse but AOL to connect. How would you mask it?

if you broadcast no IP then you wont get any info from the web

basically, its the way that a website knows where to send to data to - no ip=no data
