How to find someone's IP Address

Can anyone explain how to find an IP address of someone, who is chatting
with you: for an instance in MSN Messenger or Yahoo Messenger or any other
Instant Messenger.

There would have to be an active transfer of data (voice, files, etc.) between you and them at the moment you check.
You'd check by using the command line and typing in netstat and pressing enter.

If they are going through a proxy or service, you can't get their IP
address. 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.

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.

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
