          What is IPGet?
----------------------------------------------------------------

IPGet is a script for Msg Plus! Live
(http://www.msgpluslive.net). IPGet allows you to
find out the ip addresses of your Windows Live
Messenger contacts. Whenever a direct connection,
such as a File Transfer or MSN Games, is launched,
IPGet will alert you with the remote IP address and
the email of the person it belongs to. IPGet can also
pinpoint the location of this IP address telling you
its city, state, and country of origin.

Additionally, you can check all the IP connections
in use by Windows Live Messenger in the "IPGet -
IP Connections" Window.

----------------------------------------------------------------
          How to use IPGet
----------------------------------------------------------------
To obtain an IP Address of a contact, just
establish a direct connection such as a File
Transfer or a MSN Game. Click on the popup to
obtain the location of the detected IP address.

Already established IP connection can be
displayed in the "IPGet - IP Connections"
window. Here IP Connections can be filtered
and stored for easier sorting.

          FAQ's
----------------------------------------------------------------

1. IPGet loads fine but does not detect IP's during file transfer

   Ans. Make sure that the correct interface is selected under "Interfaces" in Settings window. Try restarting MSN after first installing the script.

2. Why does IPGet randomly popup IP addresses even though no direct connect is established?

   Ans. This is because MSN protocol establishes a direct connection to transfer things such as Display Picture, etc. in the background. An easy way to get the IP Address of most of the contacts on your list without even a file transfer is to change your display pic to something new and restart MSN/WLM.

3. Why do I get a "Direct connection cannot be established." error in the starting?

   Ans. This error means that WinPCap packet tracer does not support your OS or your NIC. Disable the direct detection feature in the "Settings" window of IPGet and use the manual "IP Connections" window to find IP addresses.

Please report bugs and suggestions. I would really appreciate that.

very nice, however i'd like to be able to disable the sound.

Very nice, I mean over the years requests have been 'howz do i get me buddies ip thingy' . Great work, and nice touch adding a full interface .

Ok so finally we can stop saying "just god damn request your contact to type (!IP)" and actually tell them to get this script ....

I still dont think what the big thing is about getting someone's ip. It might be cause i have a dynamic ip .... i dont get the big deal behind it If you want it .... ask for it

EDIT: Can you customise the ID whilist storing ip's as in saving the contact name or something?

Good script, for me it'll be useful, thanks.

is there anything other than a file transfer or a game that would trigger it to pop up with an ip address connection?
it keeps popping up when i'm not doing anything.

Good script .

i'm getting an:
> Interop.Call() kan de functie "GetExtendedTcpTable" niet vinden.
> Fout gedetecteerd in lijn 66: onbekende fout.
  (Code: -2147467259)
> Fout gedetecteerd in "OnWndSettingsEvent_CtrlClicked".
  (Code: -2147352567)

error when trying to open the window in the screenshot...

Everything I know about the MSN Protocol I learned a few days ago, but if I had to guess, I would say that it is because of a MSN server establishing a direct connection to you. It happened to me when a contact from a different country initiated a conversation. Again, someone like Cookie would probably be able to give you a better answer.

Yes, that's what it is for. If you meant it automatically inputing contact's name or email, im still looking into that.

Do you have Windows XP Home? If so, that might be the problem. If not, then i'l have to look further into it.
