How to know the IP of a contact on MSN ?

[Deepesh]

I use msn to communicate with my friends by instant messaging. The problem is that someone I do not know a lot about myself and I do not know who it is. I think this is a joke one of my friends but the friend said no. That's why I'd like to know the IP address of msn contacts to find out if it is him or another person.

Thanks

I don't think this possible to find ip of senders on MSN.

To find out a persons IP when you are chatting with them on MSN Messenger you must be currently chatting or transferring a file the go to the command prompt and type netstat. The look for port 1863. This is a general method. MSN Messenger can also use port 80.

through MSN you'd need to make a direct connection by sending a file or something, and then looking for changes in the results from netstat.
