sniperscope Posted November 27, 2000 Share Posted November 27, 2000 Hey gang: I have icq ver. 2000b. Where on earth do I find the ip addrss of someone I am chatting with in icq?? It was easy in earlier ver. but I can't find it in this one. If this ver. does not support that anymore then does anyone know how I can get someone's ip address? Just getting ready for tcp/ip play. Thanks sniperscope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny Posted November 27, 2000 Share Posted November 27, 2000 go into the preferences option and make sure use real IP address box is ticked in connection tab. Look at your details in services menu and it should tell you your IP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sniperscope Posted November 27, 2000 Author Share Posted November 27, 2000 Tiny: I do not see that in icq 2000b. This ver. of icq appears to be different. sniperscope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFCElvis Posted November 27, 2000 Share Posted November 27, 2000 If you have Windows (instead of MAC) you can find your own IP # by going to "run" and typing "winipcfg". I am assuming you will only need one persons IP # to play TCP/IP...that is the way any other TCP/IP game I play works. Once you get yours just send it as an instant message to whoever you are playing. ------------------ What do we do with a terrible liar? Well, Great liars we send into the clergy.

Maximus Posted November 27, 2000 Share Posted November 27, 2000 I heard that your IP address changes everytime you log-in if you're using a Dial-Up connection. Is that true? I heard it today from a dude after I mentioned the TCP/IP patch was coming out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SS Peiper<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> That depends on your ISP. Most use DHCP, that's true, but most will also make statics available on request. Also, many broadband users have static IPs especially if they've had them a while and the phone and cable companies hadn't really figure out how to set up their networks and just gave out statics to everyone.
