Most of you may be curious to know how to find the IP address of your friend’s computer or to find the IP address of the person with whom you are chatting in Yahoo messenger or Gtalk. In this post I’ll show you how to find the IP address of a remote computer in simple steps.
I have created a PHP script to make it easier for you to find the IP address of the remote computer of your choice. Here is a step-by-step process to find out the IP address.
1. Download the IP Finder script that I have created from here:
2. Open a new account in Freehostia (or any free host that supports PHP).
3. Extract the IP_Finder.rar file and upload the two files ip.php and ip_log.txt into the root folder of your hosting account using the File Manager.
4. You can rename the ip.php to any name of your choice.
5. Set the permission to 777 on ip_log.txt.
Now you are all set to find the IP address of your friend or any remote computer of your choice. All you have to do is send the link of ip.php to your friend or the person with whom you’re chatting. Once the person click’s on the link, his/her IP address is recorded in the file ip_log.txt.
For your better understanding let’s take up the following example.
Suppose you open a new account in Freehostia with the subdomain as xyz, then your IP Finder link would be
http://xyz.freehostia.com/ip.php
You have to send the above link to you friend via email or while chatting and ask him to visit that link. Once your friend clicks on the link, his IP address will be recorded along with the Date and Time in the ip_log.txt file. After recording the IP address, the script will redirect the person to google.com so as to avoid any suspicion.
To find the recorded IP address check the logs using the following link.
http://xyz.freehostia.com/ip_log.txt
The sample log will be in the following format
79.92.144.237 Thursday 07th of May 2009 05:31:27 PM
59.45.144.237 Thursday 07th of May 2009 05:31:28 PM
123.92.144.237 Thursday 07th of May 2009 05:31:31 PM
NOTE: You have to replace xyz with your subdomain name.

Its a very easy one to do. If your friend is a geek, then you’ve to use shorturls. Isn’t there any direct way to find the IP using our chat client ?

says:
Yes there’s a way out! If you’re using a chat client like Yahoo Messenger, then while sending any file to your friend or anyone, just open command prompt and write the command “netstat -n”. It will display all the established network connections with the inbound and outbound type. You can find his IP address there!

Umm will that work on a connection through NAT ? I have router which connects to the internet, behind that, the network is NATed.

Yes, I think it would work fine. Just try it and if you find anything not happening then revert back to me!
