How are you connecting, ADSL or DUN? If the former, are you using a modem or router? Do you run a software firewall or rely on a NAT/SPI hardware firewall?

First, thank you for replying. I'm not sure I understand your questions, but I'll try and answer. I connect through my local phone company, no it is not dial up. I have a modem In my computer and a box from the phone company beside my computer. As for the firewall? I have Norton system works, but that is all I'm aware of.

Are you in the States? If so, I'm beginning to guess here. If you're not dialling, then I would imagine you're on xDSL and the box is a router. If so, you should have instructions on how to access it, usually it's by going to a specific IP via your browser, eg http://192.168.0.1. Can you do that?

If you are behind a NAT firewall, your router should tell you, iow, there should be a setting to turn it on/off. If that's the case, then your IP should not be vulnerable, as it should never be shown to the outside world.

Go he

and see what it says.

Let me know how that lot goes, and I'll try to work out where to go from there.

Yes I am from the states. I think you are right. I think it is DSL and the box is a router. I don't know how to do what you mentioned next, but I have figured out that I have an internal and an external IP address. Then I went to the site you suggested and it confirmed it. It says it is showing my internal IP address. It is not supposed to is it? What can i do about that? I want to know how to not have anyone trace me or hack me. Can you help me further?
