Browse host works just fine and if someone wanted your IP all they would have to do is use a IP sniffer like ethereal. Personally I think it adds accountiblity and there by makes sure that end users don't spread viruses and trash -- like there doing now! If your afraid of someone getting your IP mask it if you've got something to hide if not a common firewall will protect you from hackers and the like. I think they should REMOVE the browse host feature completely and show ALL IP's to keep others from having to go thought the misery of having to clean viruses and malware off their systems due to some very unethical marketeers pushing their viral trash to unassuming end users.
