You'd check by using the command line and typing in netstat and pressing enter. |

You only get the IP address of whatever host is connecting to you, and that would be MSN's or Yahoo's Messenger service (i.e., those services are connecting to you, not the user). You could always just ask them. -- __________________________________________________ __________ For e-mail, remove "NIX" and add "#LAH" passcode to Subject. __________________________________________________ __________ |

Try TcpView http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/TcpView.html I don't use the messenger services but when I P2P I can see everybody's IP address and DNS name. -- |

how to find someone's IP Address
I am trying to find someone's IP address because of a conversation I had with them last night. I was playing Pyramids on Yahoo! and someone came into the room with a suspicious name. It was 'gonnakillmyself'. Normally, I don't chat with people while I am playing my game, but this one kinda peeked my interest. I had to ask some questions. I actually got this person to chat with me in Yahoo! IM, but for the life of me, I had no idea how to retrieve this person's IP address so I could pass the information on to the local authorities. From what she told me, she sounded pretty serious. I have to do something about this. If you have any answers for this question, please forward to cdnsoldier69athotmaildotcom
Thanks |
