well for tracing IP on Y! you need to be in direct connection with the user...i.e. either any1 on a webcam or file xfer...
o/w tracing IP merely with chat is not possible unless a trojan has been installed in your system ehich continuously broadcasts your secret info on the net... so metalgurl and sweet chick did u these any of the 2???
it is also possible that you clicked on a link given by the chatter and he had a counter installed on his site. The counter saves the info like IP, Operating System, etc and tells the counter owner about it when he accesses the info. So you might have done this .... scan your HDD for trojans (as already said), install a gud firewall or a good anti virus(a/v), keep your A/V updated and also when u dont wanna surf the net but require your PC to be switched on, then disable the internet (if on DSL), dont leave it connected....
I hope it helps you guys
