Finding someone's IP...

[joni]

I was reading a thread on here the other day that told you how to find some-one's IP if you were sending them a file. It was something to do with going into the command prompt and typing netstats or something.
But in my command prompt it doesn't show just
C:\
at the start of the line, it shows
C:\Documents and Settings\*username*
so the command didn't work properly.
Sorry for being a noob but can some-one help me either make the command prompt say just
C:\
or tell me another way to find some-one's IP.

Yes you can find someone's IP address easily. But you should know the host name or domain name of that IP address. If you know that means visit the site WhoisXY.com ,here select "Domain to IP" search and enter your host name. It will shows the IP address of that given host name.
