Tracert?

I was at work, bored as hell I decided to play around with some Dos Commands in Win98se

To get to the point I ran Tracert on my IP address just to see if I could find my PC..

Since I am on a cable modem I have had the same IP for 2 years, and I didn't think it would happen but I saw my Computer name and it verified my IP..

Is there a way to either block or mask your self to be invisible, just to keep people from seeing me... I have a Linksys router, I was told by Linksys that would mask me...

any help in this matter would be appreciated

Sorry, I don't know the answer to your question.

But, can we get you shrink the picture in you signature, or remove it? The reason, allot of people view this web page from work. We can't justify our research effort to people looking over our shoulder, if transformers are plastered all over the place. ;)

Thanks

To answer your question, it is impossible to mask the IP you are connected to. Each time you request information on the Internet, you also submit your IP address so that whatever resource you're trying to access can send information back to you. If you are connected behind a router, then you will have an internal private IP (usually 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x) but your public IP has to always be known or you can't do anything online.

I don't think that's what he was asking.

You seem to be asking how to disable ICMP from going past your router. (This would stop pings, tracert, etc. from reaching your computer). This goes along with you statement that Linksys told you that it could be done from the router.

You will need to disable protocol 1 either in the router, or through your OS. The various methods of doing this are beyond the scope of a response here, but try searching the net for terms like:

disable ICMP
linksys router ping
drop ICMP echo
howto ICMP

This should point you in the right direction.
