- While you're chatting with them, bring up a command line (Start-Run, type "cmd" without the quotes, hit Enter), type "netstat" and hit Enter. You may be able to figure out which one is them.
- Not unless you're the Yahoo Network Administrator, you can't.
- Use a tool called Fiddler...u can get it from www.fiddlertool.com this would capture the nework packets you exchanged with others on the internet.but i am not sure that you can know the exact ip of the chat user as most of them use proxy servers and gateways and i believe they also route through yahoo servers so i m not sure that you get the exact IP of other chat user and also for this you need to understand some networking protocols you can also use ethreal or netmon tools for the same hope that helps Lax
- Basically, without actually asking them, you really can't. Your IP address should be kept private and not given out (guard it like you would guard your phone number). That goes as a warning, too - don't give yours out. Most software (Y! Messenger included) will directly connect without revealing your IP address to whomever you're talking to. Darren
- Yes Dude that is possible. Here what you need to do. Just keep on chatting and send th other person a reasonably big file of 3 MB in case of dial up connection or 10 MB in case of broadband. Make sure you win trust so that it becomes easier for you to force them to accept your file. Say its something good you want to share. Before you send the file go to Command prompt (Start/ Run/ CMD/ OK) and in the black screen type "netstat -n" without quotes. It will show you the already established connections. Just keep that window open. Now send the file and type the command again. This time you will see a new IP and rest will be same or missing. That's your target. To make sure after the file transfer is done after 2 minutes type that command again and compare with 3 results that you already have. Isn't that simple. Hope that helps you buddy!
