So here i travel, i yearning to trace an ip address of someone who is bugging me. And if its possible via Yahoo Messenger
Answers:
To "Trace" an IP address, you will stipulation to Trace Route the IP address. Make sure you're connected to Internet and start your command prompt. (assuming you're on win xp) ... Type tracert ip_address and hit enter knob. There is an application call VisualTrace (or something approaching that) which will put the spots on world map and will visually map the TraceRT command result.
Another road of knowing more going on for an IP address is WhoIS. My favorite application for this project is: SmartWhoIs. It's salaried. There are pretty a few websites that will allow you to do WhoIS enquiry.
I've no model of how to do this using Y!M application though.
i judge you can purely google it
with "tracert" command in cmd mode
