Can Hackers hide their IP adresss? I have Norton Personal Firewall and it says that it hides my ip address. however, when somebody tries to hack me, it comes up with an ip of who did it. If the hacker was behind a firewall, would that hide his ip so the isp could not cut him off?

As long as i know, Norton Firewall cant hide your IP.
But you (and hackers) can hide ur ip using Proxy server

Visit www.grc.com for an interesting discussion on that subject.
You can check out your firewall as well.
Well worth a visit.
