I'm confused... 127.0.0.1 is your local machine. Which by the way is a non-routable address. So, your local machine still has to connect to the internet somewhere (ADSL / cable modem / dial-up) which means you are assigned an IP address by your ISP. Since you have to authenticate to your ISP they have records of which IP was assigned to you and what time / date. If you are not using an anonymizer service beyond that then every website you go to has the IP address assigned to you by your ISP. I'm not seeing where you're anonymous or hiding you IP. -- Leif -:- TB Lists Moderator -:- PGP Key ID 0x7CD4926F Tagline of the day: A bad random number generator: 1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 4.33e+67, 1, 1, 1 Roguemoticons - http://www.PCWize.com/thebat PCWSmileys - http://www.PCWize.com/thebat/pcwsmileys.php ________________________________________________ Current version is 3.5 | 'Using TBUDL' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
