The only way that I can think of for someoen doing that would be to have an IP sniffer. It works like a password sniffer but for IP's. In case you dont know what that is, a password sniffer allows someone to view passwords on someones computer when a connection is made between 2 computers.

what kind of commands would you use in prompt to find what your looking for

Generally speaking, its hard to get someones IP address from a chatroom. You can 'whois' a user in IRC chat but the host name or IP address you will get is that of their ISP.

To get someones IP you need to have a direct connection from your computer to theirs. When you have a connection established (example: sending a song or image file to someone else) open your MS-DOS window and type netstat -a or netstat -n
This will list all current connections, their host names and IP addresses. Happy hunting.

Just wondering if this would be possible in a forum discussion? We have one for our university and I am getting some abuse - most of which the Moderators are taking off, I just wanted to know if it was who I think it is.

Thanks

Mitchelle:

you have to figure out one thing: the mailbox is like a folder on a server, or like a partition. anybody can run an email server (search for email servers with a search engine; they're software, programs which run on a computer with a public IP address - gennerally). so, just ping mail.server.net, and you might just find out the IP of [email]abuse@server.net[/email], which most probably is the same or very simillar to the one of [email]user666@server.net[/email]. and another thing, i assume you realize that a mailbox is accessible from anywhere, as long as you know the correct username and password. so, if you want to find the IP that is accessing that mailbox, well, that's another story. hm, you might consider cracking the server and stealing the logs, but probably wouldn't do you any good, as you might find a lot of IP's that have accessed the mailbox. so, my advice: mark that email address as spam

not really. for example yahoo messenger listes on port 80. so, if you send someone a file, you'll see a connection to the remote ip on port http, or 80 if given -n option to netstat. ok, but you could have a browser running, so there will be a lot of connections on remote port http. which one is the one you are looking for? well, you could close all the browser's windows, or investigate all the ip's that you see with netstat. or, you could receive the file, so then you will be the one with port http (80) connected. as long as you don't have a proxy server, web server, or other server other than the instant messenger's (yahoo) file thansfer server, you are sure that the remote ip connecting to your http port is the one you are looking for.
example:

C:\>netstat -n

Active Connections

Proto Local Address Foreign Address State
TCP 192.168.1.2:2145 216.155.193.167:5050 ESTABLISHED
TCP 192.168.1.2:2170 216.239.37.99:80 ESTABLISHED
TCP 192.168.1.2:80 123.123.123.123:666 ESTABLISHED

translation:
1. me connected to yahoo server (remote port 5050)
2. me connected to google.com (remote port 80) <= browser
3. me receiving a file through yahoo messenger's file transfer protocol from remote ip 123.132.123.123, remote port 666 on (this is the catch!) local port 80.
so, guess the ip i'm looking for
