Your IP address is automatically allocated by your ISP, whether it is static (ASDL/broadband) or not (dial-up), then that IP is automatically logged. When you surf the net or the P2P network your IP address is recorded in the logs of the servers and PCs you have visited.

You can see this in action when you check the Monitor section of LW, you can see the IPs of the PCs downloading shared files from you. Likewise, your IP can be seen by PCs you are downloading from.

That IP, when examined, will lead directly back to your ISP and, via your ISP logs, lead back to you.

next time you download from limewire

go to start -> run -> and type in cmd
type in netstat -a

somewhere, you will find the IPs of the people you download from. there is no real way to mask your IP from anyone who do business with on p2p. you could probably run p2p through a proxy but that would be slow.
