good morning
how can I get the IP address of a person who is in a room in paltalk messenger?
I'm waiting for your respnse.
sorry if the this question is out of subject.

You probably cannot. Most chat rooms do NOT make that information available.

To get someone's IP from yahoo messenger conversation, go to start -> run and type cmd, then in the window type netstat, but before close any other open programs. This will show all your connections, if you have few, it will be easy to get their IP address.

To find information about it try http://www.ipgp.net

hey leo i am trying to find out who a user of an msn account is, as he has been menacing people at my school. We have tried everything in terms of trying to talk it out of him (who he is) but to no avail. Will the method shown in the article work for the IP of this person's msn address??

"The method in the article" doesn't get you the name of the person.

The best you can do without help is to identify their ISP - Internet Service
Provider. To actually identify the person you'll need that ISP's help, and THAT
will likely take a court order.

here you go my friend prashant

I am working for an IT security training project.Is there a way to get web site address and phone number by IP Address?

I found this site:
http://www.auditmypc.com/anonymous-surfing.asp
which told me my EXACT CORRECT suburb, with a map.
Will be looking into how it's done.

You must live close to your ISP's point of presence, because it's still only
information ABOUT YOUR ISP that these services can return. They CANNOT go
further, unless your ISP makes the information public.

In my case, they're 300 miles off.
