You get an IP-number automaticly when you log in to Internet.
If it is a dial-up modem it will change each time but for instance with a cable modem you'll have the same IP as long as the modem is on line even if you shut down your PC.
You have IP-number 65.96.141.68 on this one.
At other occasions it has been
65.96.140.183
65.96.142.162
65.96.142.237
etc.
This is called a Dynamic IP number. You can buy a Static number(-serie) that belongs to you only but that is expensive and normaly only used by companies, institutes etc.
It is possible to trace the IP provider with the help of those numbers but only the first three groups are used. Your own identity cannot be traced by the IP only.
