When you connect your computer to the internet, it is assigned an IP address. If you can hide your IP address ,it's be a good solution. But How? First of all lets look at the possibility of trace you according to internet connection that you are using.

Leased lines

This type of connection must installed by local ISP(internet service provider) in your premise. Mostly you have to sign a contract and you must supply identification papers. And static IP address will be assign. It's very easy to find you if you done some annoying thing in online.

Dial up connections

Though many ISPs' provide free accounts the logs are kept either at the ISP or at the Telecom of calls that were made. Mostly ISP is using RADIOUS servers to track details. The RADIOUS server record the time you dialed in, the connection speed, reason for disconnecting and the time that you were disconnected. Also user ID that you used.
