You are welcome, but I don't really think there is much for you to 'figure out' or 'do' about it.
You can 'hide' your IP ADDRESS by using a PROXY (route your internet traffic to a website that ACTS like it is the final destination, but really passes it on to you.
Doing so is pretty much a waste of time, though, as they can still figure out where the data ends up. There is NO ABSOLUTELY SAFE method to hide your IP ADDRESS. It is a matter of RECORD to begin with.
Because you get WINDOWS updates from the internet (automatically), MICROSOFT has a record of your computer's SERIAL NUMBER, which it uses to FIND your computer. That SERNO is linked with the IP ADDRESS. Your Internet Provider (that's what IP stands for) has your name, address, phone number, and probably your Bank Account info.
Total 'invisibility' on the internet is really a myth.

Well, I guess I’m on “the list” at Senator Mary Landrieu’s office:)
If things go obama’s way my son will be visiting me in the big house with a saw in a cake.
