Forums mIRC Help Hiding IP Address

I never said anything about changing IPs... Anyway, thanks for the response, it helped. My last resort would be to use a proxy server. The network that I use does not support vhost on user accounts, but that would be nice. I don't know what BNC is, but would I have to pay for a shell account to use it, or are there various ways of using it? Maybe you could go into more detail, or I might be asking in the wrong place. If that's the case, could you point me in the right direction?

Edit: Nevermind, I was asking the wrong people, I found what I was looking for, thanks again!
