Hi,
I would like to know if there's a way for people to see my IP address using either AIM or DEADAIM. I know you can see it when you transfer a file or when you make a direct connection with someone else, but is it possible to view someone's IP during a group chat on AIM or in any other way that isn't either of the two things I just mentioned?
Also, if this is possible, how do I prevent someone from seeing my IP in a chat on AIM when I'm using two different screen names? (one using AIM and the other with Trillian).
I'll explain the second part better. I'm in a group where you should remain anonymous. I logged into the group chatroom with two different screen names and someone claims to know I was the one using both the screen names because they "saw my IP on the AIM IP log". Whether this is possible or not, (I am sure this person was bluffing, there are many other ways this person could have known it was me, hints that are very obvious and easier than seeing my IP, that's why I don't believe them. anyway...) but even when I know they were bluffing, I'm still curious to know if it is possible and how can I prevent someone from seeing my IP in a chatroom when I login using two different (or more) IDs.
Thanks, I hope that made sense.
