ISP ID ?
I am asuming you want to Hide ur IP Address ?
You can use a "Proxy" , plenty of them available both Free and Paid.
The Paid ones are faster and work most of the time,then again it depends on you.

The other way is to use a ghost program which is basically the same as a proxy.

I wished sites would block users coming through proxies from entering. Keeps the idiots off sites. Too many try to hide and drop viruses and other crap. Many think they can do it to hide illegal download activity.

Not fair
For example i have paid subscriptions to some US TV sites to download the latest series which are broadcasted here in France about 1 year after
To be able to downlad from these sites even you pay, you cannot have an EEC IP address so i use a US proxy and everybody is happy.... Guess who allows me to use such proxy ?

If you can't use a EEC IP Address, it must not be legal to download the content in France.

Absolutely legal for people having an address in the US and that is my case
I pay the subscriptions with an US credit card and i can download from anywhere the series under the above condition.... I told you to guess who gave me the proxy addres to make such downloads.
I have not, of course, the right to redistribute the downloads.
So just to say that using a proxy is not always to make bad things.

Well, I'm not one of those idiots...I'm merely trying to AVOID the idiots that might want to tap into my PC and upset things.

I went to a site within a message board the other day, and while reading a msg. bd. there, saw a little flag that read: "Your IP Address is xx-xxx-xx-xxx" and "Your internet use sucks", or some similar rude comment. I would like to avoid this in the future. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

If I had to "guess", I'd say you learned it here on this message board. Right? ...duhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Just keep your router up to date and your firewall/anti-virus up to date.
