oh ok i see what you mean about the 8 port router. Seems like your price is about right then.

Norton IS a better firewall because it monitors a lot more than XP's firewall. However, I dont use it. XP's is just fine for me :) Tho you should know that it does block incoming traffic so it "helps", just not as much as Norton might.

Some people's ISPs give their client's a different IP address every time they connect to the internet, if thats what you mean, but that wont help you unless you switch to one that does that.

Ya, AOL does that. Its cool sometimes but it gets annoying too.

Yes and I can't belive it hasn't been mentioned..
On 99% of computers if you use IE you get one IP, and if you use Firefox you get another :P

I dont think so.... :no:

Internet explorer and firefox are simply browsers. Your OS manages the networks connections. Therefore it shouldn't matter one bit what browser your use.

i think the only way you can change IP adress is to get a new internet connection, or get an IP mask, but this doesn't change your ip, it makes things read it as 255.255.255.255

Contact your ISP and ask them to change it or use a proxy or anonymizer, either of which you should be able to find easily with a quick search on Google.

There's more to it than just that ^^^ if you want to keep it changed.

But its very possible to change it for good so that computers can't recognize, even if they try to use the wildcard(*) on the last three digits when banning your IP. When I have time I'll post up the exact steps on how to do it.

Yeah! Can you do that for us... that would be very helpful. When you get time of course...
