You could hide your ip address by editing the source ip in the packet(or frame actually) but then you could only transmit and not recive a response. Other than that there are proxies that can do what you are asking. Google ghostsurf, if they are still around, i dont know.
it depends on what exactly you are looking to achieve, but maybe take a look at TOR https://www.torproject.org/.

Unplug from the network?
*edit* better answer, don't use a protocol that uses IP addresses! Ditch IP for something else

That is a very good question and should be answered first.
Against what threat?

That's not a great reason. Are you sick of people knowing your home address?
What difference does it really make to you? Unfortunately due to the way the Internet actually works, it's not possible to hide your IP address exactly. You could use a proxy server, or tunnel connections through another server, but it won't gain you anything (you can never be truly anonymous) and will just cause you hassle.
At the end of the day unless you've got something to hide, there's absolutely nothing to be "sick of". If you did have something to hide, you'd be tunnelling through all sorts already anyway.
Don't worry about it.

Whichever way you choose (proxy/tor) you will be passing all of your traffic through another computer so you're potentially giving away some of your privacy, so be sure you can trust whichever company/organisation you use.
As said ^^, tor is pretty much the most anonymous and is free.

Awwwww...pirate talk.....
And I refuse to believe that these programs will have taken a backwards step. Everything on the networks (I forget its name) was encrypted so the other persons computer didn't know what it was transmitting.
Whilst the traffic within the TOR network may be encrypted, unless you have end-to-end encryption the traffic leaving the exit node is going to be in cleartext to the final destination. There was something posted a while ago looking at traffic coming from an exit node, and loads of credentials were revealed.
Get a cheap VPS and then surf through that over a SSL tunnel.
Like others have said your IP will be visible in the logs of the VPS, but no one will be able to peek at the traffice from you to the VPS.
You will just appear as if you are sat in whatever country the VPS is in.

Possibly the best reply i've seen this year.
