Detecting the IP Address

Let's say for example, i am at pogo.com and i am playing a game of cards. I
then suspect that the same two opponents are exactly the same person on two
different computers. Is there a way to sniff across the internet and find
the IP addresses of the two opponents that i am playing cards against.

thank you in advance for any help

Re:Detecting the IP Address

You can try to make a "ping -a". Or you try to connect using netbios
(\\ipaddress\c$). But i think, there's is (thanks to god) no other way.

Re:Detecting the IP Address

YOu can install the tiny personal firewall or kerio peronsal firewall (are the
same) they are free for personal use. In the firewall status window you can see
:
Application, protocol, local address, remote address, state, date, bytes in/out
,etc.-

Re:Detecting the IP Address

Depends on how the server/client software's setup.
Id assume pogo, for example, runs server machines and thousands of you
connect as clients. The server would post down info needed for your client
to run only, so there's no way of you finding out the IP addresses of the
other clients unless it wanted you to.

Re:Detecting the IP Address

Claire is absolutely right. Sites like Pogo (and ours -- see
www.IonThunder.com) generally
work the same way, with hundreds of "game servers" to which client
applications (in the
case of Pogo and IonThunder these are Java 1.1 applets) connect via sockets.

The game servers and chat servers are the only places where the client IP
addresses are known,
and this information is never relayed back out to your game client.
Essentially there is no way
for you to learn another player's IP address on one of these game sites
unless you've managed
to hack your way into the server itself.
