How can you acquire the IP address of the person you’re talking to over IMs? (for Windows)
First, you need to establish a connection. Establishing a connection may require two to three exchanges (of conversation) over instant messaging programs (or IMs for short) such as Yahoo! messenger, MSN, ICQ, AOL, etc.
Conversation could go like this:
Person A: hi!
Person B: hey!
Person A: what’s up?
Person B: nothin’s boilin’ here. bout you?
After you have established the connection, you have to do this:
1. Click Start.
2. Click Run. You will now see a small dialog box.
3. Type in “cmd” (without the quotations) and press enter.
4. You will now get a black MS-DOS box. Type in “netstat –n” (again without the quotations) and press enter once again.
5. You will now get the different IP addresses you have established a connection with.
