What does it mean when on chat it says:"We are currently recording ip addresses"?

it means they are checking your IP address so that if you're talking to a child or they suspect child predators, they know exactly where your computer is located.

Using netstat won't give you the IP of the person you're chatting with; the only thing you'll get is the IP of the server which handles the chat messages.  \n\nI think if you establish a direct connection with someone (to share pictures or files), you MIGHT be able to find their IP through netstat.  I don't know how Yahoo handles the transfers, so they could likely  be proxied, in which case you get the IP of the proxy server instead of that person's IP.

This is a problem limited to servers/services that enable these people to do this. Services that use active-x to read the IP directly from the computer and not the IP of the proxy server these people are using, these trolls revert back to being powerless script kiddies still living with mum <sic> here is a address of a service that uses active-x where you can see how powerless these trolls become

Try TCPView http://www.sysinternals.com/Utilities/TcpView.html this shows all the IP addresses connected to your PC. However, it may only reach the chat provider. On my PC is shows different IP addresses for every conversation window, however, not the IP address of the person I am chatting to.\n\nI doubt whether you could locate automatically without directly asking for the persons IP address.

A networking guide....\nPinging a site is literally transmitting a packet of information from your PC to the site. That packet of information has a timestamp of when you sent it, and then at the site, it sends the packet back, and viola, you get how much time passes when sending messages from your computer to the site. As for people hacking into your computer becuase of pinging, sorry, you read WAY 2 much into that. Pinging is a very good way to verify if an IP address is being used, that's about it.

That booting through chat has a different meaning. It doesn't mean restarting your computer. It means kicking you out of the chat room. There are people who make booters just for the fun of it. It sends code similar to the PMs. \n\nLike when someone PMs you for the first time or after you close the private message window, a new private message window appears and theres a sound.\n\nIn a booter(small program used to send such codes) you have to log in a lot of Yahoo IDs(you have to create a lot of yahoo ids, preferable more than 100. takes a lot of time.) at once. Then there are different options to send different boot codes, in different booters. For example, some booters have the option "PM Bomb". When you press it, all of your logged in yahoo ids, send PMs at ONCE to the victims computer. Since there are more than 100 windows open now on the victims computer, his computer hangs, so he has to restart his computer. LOL! I hope you understand this explanation. It is very simple.\n\nYou can get a list of sites from where you can get booters from the following URL.\n\nhttp://www.progenic.com/top100/

it does not show what website you are in and it does not show what chat room you are in. it does not show what email you are reading. \nIT ONLY SHOWS THAT YOU ARE ONLINE.. THATS IT

It means there is no reverse address record (PTR) record in the DNS system for that address. \n\nThe reverse record should point to the name of the site that uses the address. This happens often on sites that virtualize many websites onto one ip address-- tho is should resolve to the isp host.

The IP is a non-routable IP on your own network, and probably means the game is trying to do something.

Depends on where the IP is coming from.  If you are part of a network it may be just a request from a computer within your own network.  It could be a probe from your ISP or communication from a program you are using to a server on the Internet etc.  Some of these are harmless but others could be downright hostile.  If you are on a broadband connection make sure you have a hardware router with a firewall in place for added protection.

If you have access to the message in question, try to see the FULL HEADERS of the message where you can see the originating IP address. Then trace that IP address with a service like VisualRoute and it will give you an idea of where it came from.

dont know, but it took my computer .207 seconds to "talk" to that ip address

its very simple nothing to do with ip address they use yahoo booters, they have control of about 50 bots and they all send you a message at the same time which yahoo cant handle, and it kicks u offline, best way to stop this is only accept messages from friends you know this can be done via the yahoo messneger settings \nhope this helps.

If you get this message, and you are sure that nobody else is using your user ID somewhere else on the internet, AND if you have a router or firewall that shares the internet connection you use, then chances are that rouuter or firewall changed it's IP address recently (usually happens on a regular time period like 12hrs or something), and your service, in automatically logging you back in, detected the change.

netstat -a\nthis will show your pc's connections, so it will show the ip of yahoos msgr server but not your friends that are also connected to msngr.

If they know their static IP or happen to know what their dynamically allocated IP is(highly unlikely), they can use the 'ping' command from the command line editor of Windows.  \n\nMost firewalls drop ping requests, so if you're behind one, it's not likely that they would know if you're online.  If you aren't, however, and they know the IP, they would get a positive response and discover you are online.

there is a field named "Received" in the full header of you email, containing data like this:\nfrom [168.243.7.66] by web25610.mail.ukl.yahoo.com via HTTP; Thu, 22 Jun 2006 00:13:58 CEST\nYou can see an IP there. You can know what country that IP belongs to.\nhttp://www.dnsstuff.com/
