Every time you visit a web page, you are telling that web page some pieces of information about your computer, including your IP address, the operating system, the web browser you're using, etc.  This is regardless of whether you're using a Yahoo! account or not.\n\nTo hide your IP address, you can use a proxy server, as most companies do.  This way, your web browser asks the proxy server for the page; the proxy server then goes out to the web site using its own IP address (not yours) and fetches the page, then returns it back to your web browser.  A proxy server can run on another server (for example the one at www.anonymizer.com) or even on your own PC, as per the previous response.

Well if you are useing Yahoo messenger . You cannot  see the persons ip address because you connect to yahoo then the person.\n\nExample; You / ip. - Yahoo Server - Other ip\n\nThe only way is if you are transforing files to each other. So why you are doing that , pop open a dos window ( cmd in the run box ) and type netstat -an.\n\nThat will list there ip address

The email address and the IP address of the server it went out on.  That is about it. They can not find out your home address or anything like that.  If you have a yahoo account just make sure that you don't put your full name in it if you don't want them to know who it came from.

The short answer is No. Your IP number doesn't directly link you to who you are or what any of your other personal information is. For a lot of people, your IP number is static--so every time you connect the IP number is different. \n\nHowever, it is technically feasible for your IP number leading to an identity theft. It's possible, but really not likely. Someone, with your IP number, could potentially reveal who you are if they were somehow able to look up your information from your ISP (which might have your IP number linked to your name). Or it is possible to hack your computer using your IP number if you have insufficient security. \n\nBut really, every website you go to can and often does record your IP number. It doesn't really mean much all by itself.

yes. IF you have yahoo mail, go to Options on the Top right >> Mail>>General Preferences then at Messages Headers: select the "Show all headers on incoming messages"\nThis will show the originating ip addresses. There are websites where you can reverse lookup ip addresses. do google search for ip address reverse lookup.

May be possible in some cases. I'm using GAIM instead of Yahoo Messenger and in an IM window i have an "Info" button. Pressing it, in 80% of the cases, it shows the IP address of the person i'm talking to.

get one of their emails - look at the header information, find the source IP address and type that into an IP "who is" search - thsi is very brief but have a search on the Internet there are plenty of site to give help

Oh yes, the website admin can usually find out the IP address and the domain from which the access was done.  However, it is difficult to pin-point exactly who did it unless the user has a static IP address (fixed IP address).  Usually ISPs provide you with a dynamic IP.  So its difficlut to find out who did it in your case.

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

Click on start, then click on Run. A window will open. Type cmd in the given box and hit enter. A black window will open. Type "ipconfig" in the box and hit enter. You will see your IP address. I hope this helps. Good Luck.

you can find out who the IP is registered to with a reverse IP lookup, although that won't necessarily lead you to the exact computer.\nhttp://psacake.com/web/eg.asp\n\nyou can also get an estimate of where that IP is located geographically, but it's not very reliable and your best hitting several sites found on google to get the best estimate of where the IP is currently located at.\n\nThat's the best you'll do just off an IP, you probably won't be able to find out who owns the computer that is using that IP address, maybe just the service provider.

IP can not be stolen, but IP can be changed if you have dynamic IP address (depend on type of your Internet connation)

When you sign up for the email account you don't have to enter real details so it is possible to set up an account in the name of Mickey Mouse with a totally false postal address, or a real postal address that isn't yours! Hence it is not necessarily possible for Yahoo to find the person sending the email from the details they entered.\n\nThe best way to trace where a mail is coming from is by looking at the X-originating-IP email header. If this is not there you can look at the other headers to find the originating IP address. From this you can see which internet subnet it came from and find the ISP who owns that.\n\nThey would be able to trace which of their accounts was assigned that IP address at the time the email was sent, but you (or the police) would need to give them a very good reason to do it.\n\nI suppose Yahoo might do this for you if they felt there was sufficient justification.\n\nIt is also possible to spoof email addresses, which means that the actual owner of the account might not really have sent the mail at all - it might have been sent by somebody else. To do this all you need to know is the email address of an account and you can make it look like the email came from there.\n\nInternet email is really not to be trusted!

Yes, the websites you visit can obtain your IP address, for example go here:\nhttp://www.ipchecker.net/\nto find ot what your IP address is. When in chat you're usually safe unless you establish p2p connection with the other person (usually when you transfer a file)
