MemberI need help trying to trace the IP address of a friend’s screen name. Her house was broken into and her computer was stolen and whoever stole it keeps signing on with her screen name; I tried to get their IP address using the netstat command in DOS, but they signed off and I ended up with nothing. Is there a quicker, easier, sure-fire way to track their IP so we can turn it in to the police (who at this point have been absolutely useless) and hopefully catch the theives? Thanks!

Memberif you can, establish a direct connection with that computer.
then use netstat to grab it 🙂(if they’re using msn, try to be sneaky and invite them to start viewing webcam or listen to microphone or send them a picture of ‘yourself’ (but not really of yourself :P))

MemberIf you can con them into sending you an email, the IP address will be in the full header.
