May 1, 2003 at 9:46 am #63128feel_the_rythemMemberNo you cant see anyone’s IP address through yahoo messanger.There are other techniques.
May 1, 2003 at 10:47 am #63132malimali1MemberThanks for your answer.
Can you please tell me how? Is it real that messenger uses a static IP and it’s different from ISP IP address?
thanks for your answer
May 1, 2003 at 10:54 am #63127feel_the_rythemMemberno you got it worng.There is a software called IP grabber.You have to search that on the net or if you be able to get the direct connection then you can get his/her IP from DOS by simple command netstat -a.
May 4, 2003 at 12:43 am #63117Jeff HesterKeymasterCan you find out someones ID if you have there IP address?
and how
May 4, 2003 at 2:44 am #63131OreoMemberPerhaps this is a silly question…but is there any legitamate reason to find someone’s IP address without their express permission? Why do I keep seeing these invasion of privacy questions?? Does the idea of live and let live no longer exist?
May 5, 2003 at 2:35 am #63123feufolletMemberI agree with you, dear oreo ! I even applause you : “Clap, clap, clap !”
Like in the real world life, I want my privacy to be respected and I think it’s merely legitimate, isn’t it ?!
May 22, 2003 at 3:29 am #63141hoopyMemberHello I am a 40 yr old disabled woman with a serious stalker problem. I have repeatedly reported the problem to yahoo and even to the FBI and local law enforcement. The stalker changes names every time I ignore him. And comes back, usually when im in chat with the comment “remember me?”. He has threatened my childrens lives and my own. I would love to know how I can see if im on his buddy list and how to get his IP addy to turn him into his provider. Yahoo has never responded and the FBI told me “oh that happens all the time”. If there is anyway to find out this deranged man’s IP addy please send it to me, I have tried everything else but turning him into his provider. ty hoopy
May 22, 2003 at 3:01 pm #63122ironman912MemberHoopy…I believe the first thing you have to do is check with Oreo
to make sure you have a good reason for trying to invade this Stalkers privacy. If she approves you can try to find out who the Stalker is.The second thing is to contact your local police agency. There are stalking laws and terroristic threat laws that are enforced. If you think the officer you are talking to is not interested in your report or giving you the run around ask to talk to his supervisor. I am sure you can find someone interested in a legitimate complaint of this sort.
May 22, 2003 at 5:26 pm #63125arwen10024Participanthoopy, I’m being stalked by some guy as well, so i know how frustrating it is and how damn annoying. Now, I don’t know the foolproof method of catching his IP but there are some ways. Do you have webcam? Everytime you connect to someone’s webcam or they connect to yours, you can see their IP using netstat -a at command prompt. Some people also say you can see a person’s IP when you do a voice chat but that’s never worked for me.
Now, if you do have a webcam, try and get the guy to view your webcam (remember. Masks an option if you dont want him to see your face in addition to knowing your IP) but then he will also know your IP (if he doesn’t already. Rather a draw back. Also, don’t give away personal information about yourself to people on net. Alot of them are weirdo psychopaths. And unless you are sure that he knows where you live, don’t worry too much about his threats. Remember, he maybe in the wilds of Africa or a tiny hamlet in far corner of Asia or the North pole. Some people get their kicks out of being annoying prats on the net. And get a good firewall… zonealarm is free and really very good and effective.
Ignore people who go on about privacy issues. I bet you most of them have caller Id system on their phones and a person’s IP address is pretty much the same as their phone number. It is there to identify people so you can avoid being stalked by a crazy psycho!
Goodluck.
May 22, 2003 at 6:52 pm #63144jess_uberMemberActually for the record, there is another way to get someone’s IP using messenger…It has to do with building a sniffer in the registry…and that’s all I will say because I disagree with using this function :P!!
May 22, 2003 at 6:55 pm #63143jess_uberMemberOne more thing…if someone is on dial-up thier IP usually changes everytime they log in and out from thier ISP…if they are on cable/dsl it stays the same
May 22, 2003 at 7:03 pm #63140hoopyMemberTy for you replies. I am still at a loss for help. In respose to law enforcement contact I am in a catch 22 situation. When living on an Indian Reservation you have tribal police who have no jurisdiction off of the reservation and outside law enforcement who claim no jurisdiction over the reservation. As I said the FBI were not interested. When contacting law enforcement in his area I discovered he is involved in law enforcement so no help there. Well im still open to suggestions. Please feel free to email me [email protected]
May 22, 2003 at 7:09 pm #63136NettiMemberJess, Not all cable/dsl IPs stay the same. Mine for example changes every 24 hours. Just a FYI.
May 22, 2003 at 7:13 pm #63137NettiMemberHoopy I am a little confused. When you said you contacted law enforcement in his area, and you discovered he is involved in law enforcement? Are we talking about your stalker? Is he involved in law enforcement??? If so, and you know his name, and the area he’s in, I don’t see what the problem is?
You copy and print all messages from the stalker, get the fax number of his boss, and just start faxing the stuff to his work. The problem will soon come to an end.
