Go to any Microsoft page and attempt to find the text “MSN Instant Messenger”, and most likely you’ll fail. It’s always been called MSN Messenger; I’m not even sure if MSN Instant Messenger actually exists. Is this ad actually for MSN Messenger or something else?

OK…there really is no way to get someone’s IP address…just about the closest you are going to get to someone’s IP address is actually their ISP’s IP address. The only way to get someone’s actual IP address is to go get a court order and contact the ISP. You can never get an IP from just a direct connection…Quote:quote:Originally posted by DJHyperbyte
Also, – I haven’t looked into MSN Messenger 6.0 this far yet, so I’m not sure, but – it should be fairly easy to retrieve someone’s IP if they use the custom emoticons, custom backgrounds, image preview or personal picture features.Actually, I believe these are sent through the servers in the same fashon as everything else, including messages and status/display name changes. I’m not 100% sure, though, but pretty certain. 🙂

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 :confused: Can anyone clarify? As far as we know, he’s not a hacker or anything, just handy with computers.That’s balls, simple as that. MSN Messenger’s conversations are hosted on a server which the clients connect to, so the only IP address he could get is that of the server. Either he’s lying, or he found out her IP address after something which requires a direct-connection, such as, like you stated, a file transfer.

MarkyD, your social commentary is completely lost on me. You seem to have something important to say, so perhaps you could post a clearer argument.Yea sorry I suppose I was being a bit of an ass. I just don’t really understand what this has to do with MSN Messenger. Ok the virus screws with it somewhat, but the virus doesn’t go after it in partuclar; but instead a number of programs/files. And I would have thought that if someone were to be infected with a virus on their computer, they’d have more important things to do rather than use MSN Messenger.
I’m aware you provided a link of how to remove the virus; I was just a little…shall we say…”mystified” by the comment which I quoted in my post.

Now you can see why it relates to the MSN Messenger Forum.Yes, and we all know having a lil’ chat with our mateys is of much larger importance than perhaps maybe stoping that virus that’s destroying our computers.

ALLAH HAIFZ.After the immense physical pain I was put through in order to read your post, I’ve come to the conclusion that you are saying this thing can either prevent people from blocking you, or allowing you to send messages to other people when they have blocked you. If this thing doesn’t allow other people to block you, you are either using a whole different MSN Messenger Service to the rest of the world, or talking balls. If it lets you message blocking users, then that is very unlikely, as it would require a thrid-party account to invite the target user, which I can’t imagine many people would wish to keep constantly online in order to act solely as an “inviter” for blocked users. Wouldn’t it simply be easier to use a second account yourself to perform the invitation?

Believe me it does work.
Oh deary, deary, deary.

I am amazed that after all these months since this has been posted that its still a live subject, it should be locked as its already been answered quite clearly.It obviously shouldn’t be locked if there are people like you who believe this is a way to see if you’re blocked. You Can Only Remove People Who’s Contact List You Are Not On. Simple as that. This method provides absolutely no indication as to whether you are blocked or not. Argh.
The only way to see if you are blocked by someone is to use an exploit in MSN Messenger’s protocol. I won’t go into the details right now, but a bug (feature?) in the servers means it will reply with a specific error code when trying to invite someone to a conversation who has blocked you. However, nearly all available clients (including the official client) ignore this error, and simply state that the invitation could not be delivered.
Got that?

So.. I’m just a lil bit confused here. You can’t really check if someone has blocked you?No, you cannot. The best method you could use is to sign on with another account and try talking to them, and see if you’re messages aren’t being bounced back. If they’re not, then they’re being delivered to the other user successfully, and they therefore must be online.
If you don’t see an alert when someone comes online (unless at the time you sign on, or add a new -currently online- contact), then something is wrong over at your end. You seeing no alert windows does *not* mean she has blocked you at all.

ListCache , and here you will see NET Messenger Service and MSN Messenger Service. You can choose either one. When you choose, you will see on the right side Allow, Block, Contact, and Reverse. Allow is for the buddies that you allow them and you didn’t block them. Block is for the people who have blocked you, BUT if you have blocked them too, it’ll be the same, so if you have blocked the person, it’ll appear the same … Therefore, you shouldn’t have blocked any or at lease the person you are trying find out it whether he/she has blocked you or not. And the word Reverse is for the people who have blocked you and unblocked you later. So, you can find out if this person has blocked you and then unblocked you. It happens to you too. Meaning, if you have blocked a person and then unblocked, it will be the same. Let’s go back to our friends who have blocked us. When you go with your mouse and then right click, you see modify. By clicking on it, you open a window with lots of #s that I don’t wanna explain them here, but you will see the email address up at the corner.Nope.
Contacts are a cachéd version of your contact list.
Allow is for your contacts which you *have not* blocked.
Block is for your contacts which you *have* blocked.
Reverse is for the people who have you as a contact.That’s all the lists mean – you cannot find out who has you blocked from the registry.
