Is there any way to trace the sender of an IM?  i.e. IP address?

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!

That's a good indication of SPAM, so hit REPORT SPAM or DELETE without reading it.  There are some IP indications in the message header, so you might look there.\n\nGood luck

What you are looking for are the environment variables.  These are most often collected when a form is submitted and can be logged or emailed.\n\nAn example:\nREMOTE_ADDR contains the user IP address

There is one way to find out what country it was sent from.\nLook at the headers for something that takes \nReceived: from IPHost (name) [IP Address])\nby your ISP Server (Postfix) with ESMTP id 3248F37B8B5\nfor <your email address>\nTake that IP address and enter it into\nhttp://ip2location.com/free.asp\nand it would tell you where the server is,\nif it is a local ISP (not a big company) its very useful.

Check the FULL headers in your "friend's" email. They will show his/her IP address. You can then trace their location using http://www.hostip.info/. I hope this helps

well lets say that u want to see the ip address of the person that send u an email,also lets suppose that u are using yahoo\nwhen u are viewing the message that u want to find the ip, go to the bottom right of the screen and u will see the option Full Headers\nclick at full headers and u will see some options that they will appear at the message header\n\nDownload email tracker pro, is a program that will present u the exact place in the world in a map, of the place that the message came from(u can also do it in command prompt but it doesnt look as good as that), install email tracker and follow the instructions. Just copy -paste the header details in email tracker and thats it...........download the free trial version\nhttp://www.emailtrackerpro.com/index.html\n\nnow to find the place of the ip from someone from a chatroom just copy their ip in visula route that u will download from the same web page that u get email tracker,pass the ip to visual route and thats it!!!\nhttp://www.visualroute.com/index2.html

Most email clients has option to see headers where you can see the IP address of the sender, but this does not lead directly to to exact pc where the email came out from, it may lead you back to the proxy server...ISP...etc

IP trace.... go into your msn mail box, click options (top right corner) select mail, then mail display settings, scroll down to message headers and click on advanced, then ok. Now go to the email you want to trace . The last recieved IP number is the one you want, go to www.dnsstuff.com and paste the number into the WHOIS look up. Hope this helps

It would be really hard to do this because there aren't any specific idicators about a person's location stored in Yahoo Messenger. Unless the person has personally identifiable information listed on their profile, the only other way is trying to decode the IP address of the computer. And you would probably have more luck lifting an elephant over your head.

There is no foolproof and easy way, but here is an overview of what you can try as a start...\n\nEmail headers (which are not shown by default in most email clients by default) provide some level of origination/tracking information.   The headers show information such as the From name/email, To name/email, Reply-to address, etc.   They also show the path the message took to get to you (the servers in between).  Once you find the originating server, you can lookup the IP address \n\nTo show the headers:\nIn Outlook -- Right click on message and choose options\nIn GMail -- Click "More Options", then click "Show original"\nIn Yahoo Mail -- Click "Full Headers" in the bottom right of the page\n\nLook for the very last "Received" header.  This should tell you the server it was sent from originally.   Look for a number, such as 147.72.102.103.    Then type that address into this website http://www.digitalpoint.com/tools/website-country/ (or other IP->GEO tools).    This should tell you the city, state, and country the server is located.\n\nUnfortunately, these headers can be easily forged.  Also, a user can connect to a server from very far away.   So take everything with a grain of salt.

Whoa ! dont pay anyone for some dumb thin like this instead you can trt the following sites, just enter the host name or the IP address you want to trace.\nhttp://visualroute.visualware.com/\nhttp://network-tools.com/\nhttp://www.urgentclick.com/address_trace.php\nhttp://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm?getlocation\ni prefer the last site i.e. geobytes as they provide much more comprehensive list as compared to others.

Look at the full headers of the email.  Look for the X-Originating-IP.  Search that IP # on http://www.arin.net/whois/  It will show you info on their internet service provider and you should be able to narrow down where the person lives based on that info.

in any email client you can click on view>full header.  this will reveal the original ip address of the email.

It depends on how clever the sender was.  You can view the true heading and IP address information of the computer that sent the message by viewing the HEADER information of an e-mail.  This is usually available within your e-mail program under VIEW > HEADER.  But many spammers now a days fake information even in the header, or send from third-party machines, so it's extremely difficult to track - virtually impossible right now.

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 ;)

So you cannot see the specific IP address of the sender, but you can trace back to their email gateway.\n\nThese instructions will vary depending on the email client you have, however, it should be possible to view the internet header. For example on Outlook, you can do this within the message by, selecting view, then options.\n\nAnyway parse through the header and you will see the IP address of the various servers the message has passed through.
