I am assuming that the lines can cross.
01 02 03 04
05 06 07 08
09 10 11 12
13 14 15 16
Dots 5,6,7,9,10,11,13,14,15 are the ones you want to connect. Follow this path: 9,5,1,6,11,16,15,14,13,10,7

Call the points in the top row 1, 2, and 3, the points in the second row 4, 5, and 6, and the point in the bottom row 7, 8, 9.
Start at 9 and draw a diagonal line through 5 and stop at 1. One line.
Draw a line straight down from 1 through 4 and 7, but keep going through until you "stop at an invisible 10. " i.e. stop BELOW 7. This is the whole trick. Two lines.
Now, draw a line diagonally right through 8 and 6, and stop again outside the grid, to the right of 3. Three lines.
Draw a line from there through 3 and then 2 and you're done! Four lines.
You can even do this puzzles in 3 lines if you're sneaky... ;)

Draw line1 from 1 to A, then from A through 6 and 8 to B, then B to 1 and 1 to 9.

This puzzle, of course, is the classic example of "thinking outside the box." You never said that the lines had to stay within the frame of the 9 dots. The problem is that unless you do consider going "outside that box," you'll never find the answer.
