Use a firewall that runs in "stealth mode".

Nearly every firewall does this, you can use Ip hiding software and proxys also.

Hide IP Platinum is effective.

Zone Alarm Free :)

Best free firewall around, easy to set up, simple to use and really effective.

Every site you visit can see your IP, a firewall stops intruders from addressing you from it, proxys like http://www.frastproxy.com/ can be used to hide your IP addy, so will stuff like Hide IP Platinum.

The firewall covers that.

Websites can see your IP, you can hide it with proxys and IP hiding software.

Rav is right Za is the best free firewall. You call also use Peerguardian 2 that also blocks ip addresses, and is also free.
