[Script] IPGet

[risker]

What is IPGet?


IPGet is an app for Msg Plus! Live.

IPGet allows you to find out the ip addresses of your Windows Live
Messenger contacts. Whenever a direct connection,
such as a File Transfer or MSN Games, is launched,
IPGet will alert you with the remote IP address and
the email of the person it belongs to. IPGet can also
pinpoint the location of this IP address telling you
its city, state, and country of origin.

Additionally, you can check all the IP connections
in use by Windows Live Messenger in the "IPGet -
IP Connections" Window.


How to use IPGet

To obtain an IP Address of a contact, just
establish a direct connection such as a File
Transfer or a MSN Game. Click on the popup to
obtain the location of the detected IP address.

Already established IP connection can be
displayed in the "IPGet - IP Connections"
window. Here IP Connections can be filtered
and stored for easier sorting.

FAQ's

1. IPGet loads fine but does not detect IP's during file transfer

Ans. Make sure that the correct interface is selected under "Interfaces" in Settings window. Try restarting MSN after first installing the script.

2. Why does IPGet randomly popup IP addresses even though no direct connect is established?

Ans. This is because MSN protocol establishes a direct connection to transfer things such as Display Picture, etc. in the background. An easy way to get the IP Address of most of the contacts on your list without even a file transfer is to change your display pic to something new and restart MSN/WLM.

3. Why do I get a "Direct connection cannot be established." error in the starting?

Ans. This error means that WinPCap packet tracer does not support your OS or your NIC. Disable the direct detection feature in the "Settings" window of IPGet and use the manual "IP Connections" window to find IP addresses.

really thx 4 all the informations, i've installed the script and it was succesfully installed, i followed all instructions above but i can't find the IP

Alright, for the script to send you there ip

You need to start a direct connection with them..
So send them a text file with a joke in it.

Then a thing will pop up and you click that and save the ip into your list thing that it has inbuilt into it.


The reason for the direct connection required is because when your on msn it goes like this with the connection

User >>>>> MSN >>>>>>> User

But when you send a file, to stop slow connection and complaints they allow direct connection between the comps

User >>>>>>>>> User

Understand?

You also can get their IP if your directly connected to them(file transfer, IRC etc)

Go Start>Run type "cmd">type netstat -n

thanks

yea Risker, i understood u, ur words r so useful,
i've started a direct connection, i did it many times, i send 2 my friends a file whatever it was (.txt ; .mp3 ; .rar ; .jpg .....)
but what doesn't work is the pop up, nthg pops up !!!!!
n for the netstat, i've got it, and i've already tried it, n all the netstat commands such -n ; -o ; -r .....
however, i didn't get the right iP adress, coz i tried it with my friends, that i knew previously their iP
anyway, thx for ur information, i think that our server in my country doesn't allow me to do this, isn't it ????

It should work fine And you actually dont need a direct connection (Appearantly)
You can even use WPE... It will show alot of the same ips, thats for the msn server, but suddenly anotherone comes up, that was my friends. Dunno why, but it seems there is a direct connection sometimes...

[risker]

When you change your DP, PM etc it does a direct connection
Don't ask me why :]
