IP Address by Dempsey on 07-10-2003 at 07:45 PM
is there a way of finding out the IP address of the person your chatting to? obviously for security reasons you would need their permission for it, but is it possible?
RE: IP Address by Kryptonate on 07-10-2003 at 07:47 PM
Why would you wan't to know that? and for now it isn't possible
RE: IP Address by Bobcatben on 07-10-2003 at 09:51 PM
actualy there is a way, u go in the command prompt, type net stat, look at the connections, then send the person a file, while its sending, type net send again and look for a new connection, some times it shows the domain insted of the ip but its easy to look it up.
RE: IP Address by Kryptonate on 07-10-2003 at 09:57 PM
is true

Why do people always ask that? -- Why not? Is it too far fetch to think that maybe the person is curious about it? Wants to do something useful with it, play with a direct connection plugin? learn? Has a good reason for it? In addition, Is it too hard to believe he may not be trying to do something malicious?
"Why would you want to do/know that" ? Why not?

Whoa.. Take it easy. He was only saying his opinion.
Also, if someone wanted to play an online game or whatever with you, I think he'd give his IP to you.
You sound like one of them little haxzor freaks that I see in MSN chats, they're always going on about "I have your IP, I will hack you, and play around in your PC" I find that funny, because it takes more than just having an IP to hack a person.
It takes knowing how to program lines of code in order to enter the targets PC, I believe. Running a program that you downloaded isn't hacking, it's "Cracking"
Also, if they can't find their IP themself they can
1. Use Messenger Plus! (!IP) or 2. http://checkip.dyndns.org/
RE: IP Address by Sk3tch on 07-11-2003 at 04:44 AM
lol yeah.. like i dont know much abou IP's and stuff, but i know that there would not be a (!IP) on Plus! if it was bad 
silly people.. if the person did not know hot to recover the IP then it is highly unlikely that he will know how to do anything beyond that..

learn dos commands , its net stat -n for all active connections
if you send a file look for it to say sumthing like this 127.0.0.1:1864

actually its netstat -a for all connections, netstat -n displays ips and doesnt do domain name lookups
RE: IP Address by Sk3tch on 07-11-2003 at 07:41 AM
yeah.. netstat Not net stat.. you can see your IP info Also from IPCONFIG and if you want more commands all you need to do it type HELP and a selection of them will come up. 
RE: IP Address by fluffy_lobster on 07-11-2003 at 08:04 AM
Hmm didn't 
1 have a print ip option? I remember accidentally using it once, and I think it was on Plus. I don't think there's any legitimate reason you'd want to use it though...
RE: IP Address by Mippo on 07-11-2003 at 08:09 AM
There's also a secret ip-page on this forum:

really, I do? How is that?
All i meant was that there _are_ legitime reasons for wanting to know someone's ip.
RE: IP Address by DarKnight on 07-11-2003 at 12:14 PM
And they are?
Besides wanting to play an online game with them.

hmm, out of hundreds of possible uses for knowing someone's ip .. I can think of a couple I've worked on before.
- Write a custom file transfer plugin?
- Real ping plugin? where you send an actual icmp packet to the ip?
Ever played with socket programming? yah ... the ip is useful.
RE: IP Address by Kryptonate on 07-11-2003 at 07:16 PM
then just ask the persons IP instead of secretly searching

Well very true, if its secretly being search for then there might be something fishy about it.
