Hi everyone

I read on the AIM forum that you can find out someone's IP address if you connect to them directly for sending a file and such.

How can you find out someone's IP address through MSN Messenger?

A friend of mine was chatting with a guy on MSN and he said he found out her IP address just by chatting!! We have no idea how he did that Can anyone clarify? As far as we know, he's not a hacker or anything, just handy with computers.
XD i just wnated to know if ya'll knew what teh heck ya'll were talking about XD. yes you can get a person's ip from msn messenger. but no you can't do it if you are sending them a file, cause all you will get is the msn server that you are relaying off of. but you can however get it when they are sending you a file. i'm not trying to give out any hints for a hacker who might be in here but the command is called "netstat" all you have to do is look for foreign host ip.
and you can easily tell a server ip from a PC.
so before everyone starts telling everything that comes to tehir mind first. here it is. just to clear it all up ^.^. oh and no, if someone uses custom emotioncons or backgrounds you cannot trace teh ip. and yes you can trace if they are using a webcam or audio

I really don't know o.O
