Simple Answer: No.

Why? Because it is invasion of privacy. Ask them to type (!IP) if they have Messenger Plus!.

and not only that. if he doesn't want to use netstat or similar programs, then there's no way of knowing the IP except by asking your friend to tell you.

Whats wrong with netstat?

It's probably possible to make a plugin that gets the IP from netstat when you type a Plus! command...

You could use the netstat -o argument to determine which connections are from Messenger, then use some kind of logic to rule out the standard connections (probably ignore *.msn.com and *.hotmail.com). You'd be left with connections to contacts. Their IPs could be parsed, then returned without the user ever leaving the conversation window or looking at an ugly command prompt.

the idea is good, however it's a bit complicated code and even more if you can use netstat (or TCPView).

Apart of that there will be problems when you're sending files to 2 or more different contacts (what IP is from each one?), or when you're sending files through the server, or if you're sending a file to someone whose IP is from @hotmail.com or @msn.com

* Stigmata working on it

edit:
well i cant do it but does someone want to check out a library


in vb goto references and set reference to P4P 1.0 type Library (notise locataion)

then once you have set a reference press f2, and where it says all libraries, change that to p4p....


then go to iusers, globalip



could that maybe work?

Really?

I already have it working in PHP, but I can't make a PHP MsgPlus! plug-in, unfortunately. I'm trying to convert the code to C++, but I'm too much of a n00b.

Return an error if no connections to contacts are found.

Highly unlikely, I think.

i meant that it's much easier use netstat than making a that plugin
