You are probably wasting your time, just change your password and question and get on with life.
The person's IP address may well be dynamic and/or they may be using a proxy (a good bet if they are messing you around). So the information will probably be meaningless or inconclusive.
I am open to correction here but I believe that if you engage someone in IM and persuade them to download/open a file you can use traceroute to find the IP address? However, as I have suggested, this information may well be pretty useless.

yeah nihil your right (afaik) when you are chatting to someone on an IM it is normally like so :
you --msg--> IM Server --msg--> buddy
but when you start a file transfer it skips the server and initiates a direct p2p connection. So a simple netstat -n will show you the other persons ip (unless they are behind a proxy or such)
Or why don't you just create a new ID.?
import all your old contacts and just let 'em know that you have changed ID and to ignore the old one..

If it's one of your 'friends' as them for their IP when you go online. Also if it's your 'friend' ask for the account back.Quote:

Otherwise follow the other suggestions.
If your going to try "back-hacking" him I wouldnt suggest it... its more trouble than its worth. just get a new yahoo id and move on.
