What I really mean is that I want to be able to hide my ip from sites that I visit. Sorry for the bad phrasing.

No. Otherwise how would the computer know where to send the information to? :p Think of it this way, could you send someone a letter w/o having their address?

You can use a proxy, or other proxy mimicing software to attempt to hide your IP, or at least make it SLIGHTLY harder to trace, but you can't actually be anonymous.

Well, something of that nature would suffice.
