Answer 3

i would work on my plan on how to get out of jail after you get caught first....just a thought  

Answer 4

Get them to email you. Then choose to show full headers when you receive the email. And look for the x-originating IP line.  

Answer 5

You can't. Unless you get some software, or are in the FBI.

Answer 6

You can't on YA. Not sure about AIM but I doubt it. However some email products such as Yahoo and MSN will display the IP address information in the header areas.

An IP address will only give a general area of the person's location and even that can be vague if the address is pointing to where the email servers reside.

Answer 7

There is a way, you have to send them a file and they have to accept it...for a brief moment, the client's IP will be visible as you are directly ftp'ing to them. You have to be monitoring your active connection list. If you run WinBlows, that would be the command prompt -> "netstat -a"

Answer 8

You could try getting an ip-sniffer program.

It's not the easiest thing to do, but with a little trial and error and closing all connections except for the one your trying to find the ip of you could be able to narrow it down to a few ip addresses and take it form there.
