Send a file to that person... while you are doing that, run netstat -a
 
You can send a file to user from Yahoo Messenger itself. netstat is windos tool that comes with Windows XP. To run it you will have to type netstat -a at command line.
 

or simply use a sniffer and watch the packets with protocol names YMSG and see where is the destination packet is headed to 🙂 .. simple
 
Normally Yahoo messenger talks to yahoo servers. It connects directly to another user's PC only for peer to peer transfers (e.g. Video chat or File transfer).
 
but y u want ip add of that person??????/newayzas netfreak toldgo to run --->cmd--->netstat -a
 
Netstat -a is of use only if u initiate a file transfer or video chat. Coz for instant messages yahoo uses relay servers to protect privacy (the msg goes to yahoo server which forwards it to the other person) So if u try doing a netstat while IM'ing you'll only get the ip of the yahoo server. 😛
 
Netstat wont help much...Cuz if ur not fast enuff ull jus end seeing the IP of YAHOO servers itself...Ul have to watch for it fast cuz it shows only once....Yahoo has kind off fixed this...
