If you are really concerned about surfing websites and people finding out your IP address, looking into getting a good firewall. A firewall is a good line of defense against people getting into your computer.
A number of folks here use Zone Alarm, so I'm sure you'll get a lot of replies that you should look at that program. XP SP2 has a firewall program, but I don't know how well it works. Many routers come with a built in firewall that will do basically the same thing.
