This question is somehow related to security issues and a quick search
in google confirm this (search for "fake ip address").
The more common methods found in these web
pages requires the use of proxys to connect to the internet.

Runrev could use proxies to connect, but I never have worked before in this
area. We have knowledgeable experts in network computing in this list
so, insist in your question to call their attention.

I will start to manage the distribution of files in the network of the 
computer lab,
so my questions on network issues will come to this list too.
