I think ip source-route and policy routing very often get confused, but they are two very distinct things.

Policy routing is a way of specifying routes to depend on various parameters, including perhaps the source IP address of a packet. It is a local policy applied at a router.

ip source-route is something entirely different. It is a feature where the originator of an IP packet specifies, in that packet, which routers the packet must go through to reach its destination. The path is tagged onto the options field of the IP packet. The feature is very dangerous, and most NetAdmins disable it.

I think the confusion comes about because of the words "source" and "route".

In my computer center ip is assigned automatically by dhcp . But some time IP is not set to my PC .I will come 168.254.1.1?

It's hard to speculate about the problem, but DHCP has three methods how IP might be assigned to he machine. Manual (You set which machine which IP has), Dynamic (When you machine asks for IP and it gets from free IP pool and it can ask every time the same IP, extend it's usage. In this case you might loose your IP and you will get different one.) and Automatic (DHCP sets IP to machine permanently, it uses MAC-IP relation. Changing the MAC, might change your IP).

I have been checking someones facebook page for their wedding photo's I am not on friends list Can they tell my identity from my ip address if computer savvy?

No they cannot. It would be extremely difficult for someone to get your IP address just because you were on Facebook. It would involve someone hacking the Facebook servers to get your IP address. Even if they got it, they would then need to hack your internet providers servers to match up your IP address to you. If someone wanted to track your Facebook usage, it would be more likely that they would hack into your computer using various methods.
