What do you want to hide your IP Address from.

And do you mean Hide your IP when browsing the web or what? A little more detail might help :)

In normal operation you cannot hide your ip address. You make a request on the network and the server must know your address to send back the response.

You can use a proxy, who will make the request for you and forward the servers response back to you. The server will only see the proxy's address not yours. Of course the proxy will know who you are.

There is also a program called tor which uses a number of proxies to obscure your identity by forwarding through a few different proxies.

Do you need to hide your IP on the LAN or on the internet?
