5614 Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 well, 1st thing is, how can i find out someones IP address? wouldnt i have to ask them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 it depends what type of client you`re using, but doing a whois is usualy a good start remember also that IP`s can sometimes be dynamic, so it`ll be session only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted August 27, 2004 Author Share Posted August 27, 2004 i use this website: http://whatsmyip.smokingmedia.com/ and it says that my computer has the same IP address as the family one in my house, they are linked by a router, and share the same internet connection, but shouldn't they have different IP address's?

YT2095 Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 that`s your routers IP, not your local IP, you`re both sharing the same gateway, so it will be the same Name: 81-178-202-31.dsl.pipex.com IP Address: 81.178.202.31 Location: Barnet (51.800N, 0.200W) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted August 27, 2004 Author Share Posted August 27, 2004 will the; net send command work if i use the router's ip and not an individual one? if i use that site for someone else, shouldnt it theoretically give me their actual ip, rather than the routers?

5614 Posted August 27, 2004 Author Share Posted August 27, 2004 and yt, i cant find other sfn people's IPs, you can see it because you're a mod, i can't though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 and yt, i cant find other sfn people's IPs, you can see it because you're a mod, i can't though it`s nothing to do with being a MOD, as far I know ANYONE (Mod/Admin or not) can see anyone else IP all you need do is go into the who`s online section of the forum, but then I`ve already told you all this in IRC!!! I bothered to answer for the benefit of anyone else that may happen across question in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted August 27, 2004 Author Share Posted August 27, 2004 well if i go into the 'who's online' section, i cant see anyones IP address also, how come i cant find out yours [yt] /whois and /dns dont work for you, why not, what firewall are you using Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YT2095 Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 /whois and /dns is fine, but WHERE are you trying it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drz Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 will the; net send command work if i use the router's ip Well, I'm not real sure, but if you go to each of your computers, you should have some ip that is something like 198.162.x.x Or something like that unless you specified a certain one. To net send in your own local network, all you need to know is the computer's name. Open a windows explorer session (window key + E) and go to network neighborhood, or my network places, it varies depending on OS. Expand that, and go to "Computers Near Me" and it will list the 2 pcs in your network by name. I think you can right click and get the numbered IP, but the name works just as well. Back at work now, forgot to post more info on the messenger service, I'll get it up sooner or later, heres some links to hold you over: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;168893& http://www.fomine.com/net-send.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted August 28, 2004 Author Share Posted August 28, 2004 /whois and /dns is fine, but WHERE are you trying it? the /whois and /dns are all done in mIRC, where you're [yt's] IP is not accessable, why is this, is this connected? and if not, please answer anyway, what firewall do you use? and there are certainly no IPs in the 'whos online' section of sfn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted August 28, 2004 Author Share Posted August 28, 2004 oh yeah, and what OS is net send intended for? or which will work on, does a firewall stop it, or intefere with it, other than possibly blocking the ports it uses. also, my ports are stealthed, part of NIS pro, so (a) can i still use net send with my ports blocked (b) pressumably i cant recive, as the ports needed would be stealthed? edit: works for windows NT / 2000 / XP, sorry my mistake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted August 28, 2004 Author Share Posted August 28, 2004 does this only work for a LAN or can you use it over a WAN, such as the internet, e.g. me send you [yt or drz or anyone on sfn] a message. also how do i know if the messenger service is running in the background. i have msmsgs.exe running, but i think that that is windows messenger, so how do i enable messenger? i.e. the messenger which is needed for net send Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted August 28, 2004 Author Share Posted August 28, 2004 woa, this is my 4th message in a row, oh well, this is topical, you can use the ping command in CMD or dos to find out the IP address of people or websites. sfn ip = 67.18.105.36 yt2095.net ip = 69.10.136.210 although it is unlikely this is yt's IP as i dont think he personally hosts his own site. but i could be wrong hey, one sec, if you type those IPs into a browser, it comes up with rubbish, but i thought that it would be the real IP for scienceforums.net . i used the 'ping' command in dos or CMD, whats going on?

Cap'n Refsmmat Posted August 28, 2004 Share Posted August 28, 2004 The SFN ip comes up as the server company that supports it. For good reason, I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now i am reading all these other posts and what is /whois and /dns supposed to mean, and how do you use it??? Sorry...im very ignorant about the internet, but id like to learn...

5614 Posted August 28, 2004 Author Share Posted August 28, 2004 they're codes for mIRC or the sfn chatroom type the command and then the name of the person, /whois tells you about the person. i.e. what they're using to chat on their IP address and when they last posted a message on the chatroom, i think /dns is only for displaying their IP. however some people, namely yt2095's IP address does not appear, which is the reasoning for post #43 please read post #43, #44 & #45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5614 Posted August 28, 2004 Author Share Posted August 28, 2004 um, every time i type net send IP message i get an error - "the message alias could not be found on the network. more help is available.... la da da, its useless. why? please read post #43, #44 & #45 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sayonara Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 the /whois and /dns are all done in mIRC' date=' where you're [yt's'] IP is not accessable, why is this, is this connected? and if not, please answer anyway, what firewall do you use?and there are certainly no IPs in the 'whos online' section of sfn First question, many people set up their IRC client so that other users cannot see their IP. Obviously you can't hide it completely or you would not be able to interact with the IRC server. Second question, YT was wrong. Only mods and admins can see those details. As for #44 and #45, I'd prefer not to sit teaching you to use twenty year old network tools - it's gone one in the morning here. I suggest you learn about network structure and DNS, it will answer all of your questions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you can't hide it completely or you would not be able to interact with the IRC server. Just as a sidenote: to do this on our network, use /mode <yournickhere> +x: most of the time, you shouldn't need to bother though, since when you connect, this mode is automatically set.

Dave Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 How do you configure it like that? I want to do that!(I'm using chatzilla) Read the post above. It's a client mode, if you unset it, everyone can see your IP. Not all servers support it: indeed, those crazy RFC1459 server people don't have it, as well as a bunch of others. The servers we're on support it, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted August 29, 2004 Share Posted August 29, 2004 When /whois'ing yourself, you'll see your own IP (for clarity's sake) - it's hidden to everyone else. Trust me on that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
