also, upon detection of direct connections, no popup toast confirming the IP detected, like the old XP IPGet...is this normal?
I am running Vista Home Premium btw..
Ideally, you should get a popup toast when MSN servers send you a contact's IP address. Now mostly this happens during direct connection, but some times you get sent their IP for no reason at all (I don't know why).
If you aren't getting popup toasts telling you the IP and email address, then you have to do it the old fashioned way, IP Connections window -> Kill all unfiltered connections -> send a file or start a game -> check which IP comes up in the unfiltered connection. Unfortunately, I don't know why the popups do not work for everyone, but when I had some people test it, it worked for most.
