i agree with arthur…just ask asl and ull noe the location… what is the reason for wanting the IP…? asl works for location, UNLESS you are lying and want to do something with the IP… plus that reply you just posted was pointless… please explain why you want the IP,otherwise you would have used ASL (age sex location) by now…

As far as I know, you cannot hack into a computer simply with an IP address anyway.

I recall David saying several times in these forums that you cannot hack with an IP address alone. I agree with the others, just ask a/s/l.

Well kk, you won’t be able to really find any usefull information from the person’s IP address, so there would be no point in trying to get it. Also, the location isn’t always correct with an IP address.

Still, I wouldn’t worry about getting someone’s IP address. You won’t be able to do anything with it, harmless or not, so please just give up on that endevor. I know sometimes it’s fun to impress your friends with things you can do, but please, try to refrane. I’ld hate to see you getting flamed in a chat room for being a n00b script kiddie or something…

Anyways, that’s my 2 cents. Hope it opens your eyes and provides some insight. 😮

the reason I am curious is because I have been chatting with someone and they said there were going to get my ip and find out who I am… then another mutal online friend popped up with parts of a few conversations of what I typed using a diff screen name.. so can they tell that I am both people?? even if it under different yahoo accounts?? can they know I am both people?? if my profile is totally blank?? if this is so how do they get my ip thru messenger?? I have never e-mailed them or sent them a file or anything

First, please refer to this post https://bigblueball.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4702&whichpage=5 . What is happening, is that you are infected with spyware. This means you need to get Spybot S&D and scan your computer for trojans/spyware. Also, run an anti-virus scan to see if that picks anything up. You may have to run a scan with Housecall at http://housecall.trendmicro.com/ . If you still don’t find anything, let us know, but you should be able to find it with one of the three scans mentioned above. By the way, this has nothing to do with your IP address, you are simply infacted with a trojan/spyware software.

I understand that when your using superwebcam to superwebcam, Imvironments, and possibly the send file functions their is a direct connection between your computer and their computer.

So click on Start> Run> command to get to a Dos prompt in a new window

then type netstat and press enter.

This should give you a list of all connections to your computer.Figure out which one is the one your chatting with.

and you can also type netstat a u , to get a list of options for the netstat command.

Type exit to close the window.

You can get their IP address, not real useful except to find a general area where they may be located. If they are using a proxy you won’t be able to find out where they are from.

hope this helped some.
