IP address and Yahoo Messenger.

Well as long as the individual you are talking to is not connected to you IE webcam, or file transfer, it is almost impossible because the messages are just simply routed to and from you through yahoo's servers

now if you can get a webcam session or a file transfer session up with the individual then you can do this to get their IP

Start>Run
in the run box type cmd
in the command prompt windows type netstat -a

this will show the ip address and all connections on all ports

im not saying it is immpossible to get a yahoo contacts ip without establishing a connection through file transfer or webcam, but it is easier to do what i said above

just remember though, when you do this, they can see your IP addy too
