There is a program called Tcpview. Sometimes it will show the IP. But not always.

you can not follow the email sender information through inbox.ypu should go to yahoo memebers :\nmembers.yahoo.com\nand search for email address.it will bring you the profile of that person.

I assume IMS is instant messages?  If this is true then with the help of Yahoo or someone that specializes in computer security and investigation, they should be able to trace the IP address.  The IP address is the unique address that all PCs have.  The Ip address should be able to lead them to the geographical address of the computer.  If all goes well you will then know the name of this person based on the house address or work address if he's using a pc at work.\n\nYou should post this one in computers and internet.  There's some computer geeks that could probably help to trace an IP address.

For Instant Messages, it's tricky, as mostly information is hidden. In e-mail, look at the full headers (in Yahoo! mail these can be turned on/off in preferences, in Outlook they can viewed via properties of the message). There you'll find a chain of IP addresses that ends in the IP address of the sender. Via an online WHOIS server (for instance via www.dnsstuff.com), you can get details about the IP address including country, sometimes region, internet provider, etc.

Start "Command Prompt" and type in "ipconfig". That will tell you your own ip address. Then when your chatting with someone (or playing a game) type in "netstat" (in your Command Prompt) and that will show you all the connections open to your PC. (They will be the "Foreign Addresses) i.e. sip2.voice.re2.yahoo.com .   Now you chose the most likely one that would be the chatting connection, and type in "tracert" followed by the "Foreign Address", i.e.  "tracert sip2.voice.re2.yahoo.com". The first line will say something like this  "tracing route to sip2.voice.re2.yahoo.com" and there you will find your friends ip address in brackets\n\nBy the way, that's a good way to find out if someone is connected to your PC that shouldn't be ;)

This person doesnt need your messenger anymore. More then likely if you ever had even a single conversation with her. She pinged you to find out your IP. You say you have a firewall, but more then not firewalls are not too hard to get around. Your best bet is a router. Your attacks are probabaly coming through an open port as well. You need to do a port scan and see where your vunerabilities are coming from. Secondly, I will tell anyone if you want to avoid attacks a router is the best way to go. A firewall will at most kinda of block a person to get through the wall. But with the right trick and coding the computer can be tricked into thinking the attack is a friendly or ok item to let pass. and boom your in. \n\nSomehow get your IP address changed, if you have to call your ISP and have that done. If your attacks are still going then you have to get more drastic, but more then likely she will not be able to link again as long as you dont communicate with her. A instant message gives her a direct link to you, all she has to do then is ping ya.\n\n----------------\nAs I see things has already been sent to you as an answer. Firewalls are not going to be your answer. Oh yeah and another thing ZoneAlarm is the absolute worst firewall program out there on the internet, next to BlackIce... Zonealarm is hacked way to easily. .. you dont have to take my advice.. but i have fixed many a freinds computers after they had been done in even while using ZoneAlarm.

Your IP address is always going to be visible and/or logged by any system you connect to. Just because someone says "I have your IP address" it doesn't mean your system is compromised. You can even view your IP address at sites such as www.myip.dk. It is very easily obtainable when browsing the internet. If you do not want sites to be able to access it when you browse them, use a proxy server, eg. www.phpproxy.com. If people are obtaining your IP through MSN Messenger, don't send or receive files through it, and turn off file and folder sharing. \n\nFor an added layer of security kit yourself out with a decent firewall. You can download ZoneAlarm for free from www.zonelabs.com

Good question. Yes, the IP can be traced. You can stop the IM's by putting that person on the ignore list, but that won't stop them from sending e-mails. I'm working on the same thing right now.Good Luck!

You can send an instant message or email to that person and see if they respond. Otherwise, there's no way of knowing. Yahoo! will not give out information about you to anyone who inquires with your screen name.

USE YAHOO MESSENGER OR MSN MESSENGER, OR YOU CAN USE WINDOWS MEDIA ENCODER, AND GIVE YOUR IP ADRESS TO YOUR FRIENDS

there is no way you can find that on yahoo messenger.\n\nin yahoo mail, if the addresses are in the blind carbon copy field,then again you cannot see.

From Audit my pc: \nThe ypager.exe process provides a system tray icon, that will give you instant notification if someone attempts to contact you using Yahoo messenger. Additionally, it will give you immediate access to many of the features of Yahoo messenger. If you use Yahoo mesenger and find this process useful, you should leave it running. Otherwise you should terminate this process.\n\nhttp://www.auditmypc.com/process/ypager.asp
