Friend of mine asked me to help her see if its possible to do this, figure out the IP or any other information about who is making a bunch of screen names to harass her. And yes, I've tried google.

you can track ip if you direct connect...otherwise, you're out of luck

you could just go "invisible" or block that shit. if they wanna waste their time constantly making new names so you can block um before reading the im who cares?

If they won't direct connect... just set up a webserver on your computer, send them a link to a file (tell them it's a picture of you or something), then just grab the IP when they click the link.

^^That will get their IP for you. Go here:

and enter their IP and it will tell you what city they are in.
