Changing I.P. nonsense?

Hi,

I made a post here a few weeks ago asking if it was possible to trace
an I.P. address back to the user as someone was being a pest in a
website guestbook:
Message-ID: <(E-Mail Removed)>

Anyway I just blocked the I.P. from the guestbook and all was quiet,
tonight they have started trying to be a smart ass again and I just
blocked the I.P. they then sent another message saying I cannot stop
them as they have hundreds of I.P. addresses, both numbers they used
did trace to different ISP's.

How is it possible they can do this? The guestbook is moderated now
because of them, but I cannot even block the rubbish they are sending
now as they have this I.P. trick?

cheers

there is even a plugin for firefox, just click on a button and then
suddenly its extremely difficult to track your ip address.

Thanks, I never thought they worked, but, just tried my old install of
Torpark and it certainly does, thanks again for the info.

Look up the IP and complain to the provider.

rely on the current Tor network if you really need strong anonymity."

But it if it is being used malicously then whoever owns it may be
interested in doing somehting about it. Also might not, but for the
cost of an email no harm in doing everything you can.

Surely if it's moderated now they're going to get bored pretty quickly?
