I would recommend going into the setting for your account (Click "Your Account" on the main page then the link that says "Click here to adjust your settings") and changing the privacy level to "Strong". I am not sure if that will remove your IP (at least three octets that are displayed) from public view, but I would think of the options avaliable it has the best shot. I believe the IP will always be displayed when you view your own account.

Usually when anyone else views you're account the last octet is xxx out. With only three of four octets people would have a hard time tracing it back to you. Besides when you connect to a peer while download or upload that person can see your full IP either in the client or with utilities included in their OS (netstat in Windows for example) or readily avaliable on the net.
