Default Hiding your IP address

I have to questions about IP addresses.
1.What is this about being able to hide your IP address by using a proxy when downloading??
2. Is is true that Limewire mixes up your IP address so that the real address can not be found?

Post IP visible

I'm not a coder, im just a reader of this forum. But I think that IP addresses are publically visible to any user on the network by default.

I think the proxy option only exists in cases of firewalls and internal networks using a single IP for many machines.
