Can anybody make an plugin that lets me see the IP-adress to the person I'm chating with? I would be ever in your debt!

thx!

invasion of privacy?

The simple & polite answer is no. And you shouldn't be asking for such a plug-in. You can't have a program which reveals a user IP without their consent because of the security risks. Regardless of your desire.

Its not a invation. In programs like mirc, there is no problem at all to see the ip. And when you take a ping test in msn, the comp. needs to know the other guys ip to resive the "pong". soo what is the problem?

I need the ip for online gaming.. It would be very easy with a plugin. But isnt it possible?

It is an invasion of privacy. Not everyone might want you to know their IP.  Also, a program like mIRC often shows the mask as formatted by the ircd you're on, not the actual IP.

If you want someone's IP, how about .... asking for it.

search the forums... there are countless topics on this subject, even one contining a little tool on making it easier -_- (purely for educational purposes ofcourse...).

Its not an invasion of privacy, and most IRCDs don't filter IP addresses (e.g. efnet)

and IRCops can see the ip easily by a whois...

Thank you. It's funny how people think it is an invasion of privacy.

I think it is an invasion if the "victim" believes that his IP address is safe, and a contact uses some dodgy trick to acquire it without consent.

In general, people have a greater expectation of privacy on Messenger than they do on IRC.
