Go home, take the lid off your PC and apply the above vigourously to the
contents within.

No more problems with your IP address appearing in public.

Please go to the bindings of your network card (dialup adapter or ADSL modem)
and remove/untick the bad one labeled 'TCP/IP', you see that this has 'IP' in
it and is exactly what you are trying to get rid of. Ask yourself, how can
MSN messanger send an IP if it cannot get one? If you can this should be
removed and never installed on your computer. Depending on what version of
Windows you have you will have to use trial and error to get rid of this. If
possible use IPX/NetBEUI instead.

Once this is done a reboot should fix things.

The alternatives are that you could go to:
