How did this guy get my ip?

[Smokies Hiker]

You connected to a web site/link that he may be connected with. Your Dynamic IP address means nothing. You can change it at any time or hide completely by using "ghost servers" when online. The Dynamic IP address can be changed by your provider at anytime, and the same Dynamic IP address may be issued to many internet connections at the same time. It is not capable of being tracked to a certain "street" address and is only a localized indicator of your internet connection location. My Dynamic IP address shows my location on a map to be about 25 miles or so from where I'm actually located. Imagine all the houses with a internet connection and a Dynamic IP address in that 25 mile radius from my actual location! The only IP address that can lead someone to your front door is the Static IP address which the ISP keeps track of, and records of the links you connect to, for strictly security reasons as required of by the Federal Government and use by police agencies. So don't worry about this guy, he's just having some fun at your expense. If you're concerned at all, just use a ghost server and he won't be able to track you down so easily.
