a trick you may try: just enable file transfer during the chatting procedure, regardless if your buddy agree to receiving the file or not, a connection is going to be established for the file transfer, so you may use NETSTAT -A to check the buddy's ip address.

hi TheLearnedOne, i think i have given the answer. you know, file transfer is TCP based, connection oriented, you certainly can use NETSTAT command to learn which IP you are connecting during the session of file transfer. regards, bbao
