Using MS Windows Messenger with a custom SIP Server (obtenido de: http://www.voice-system.ro/docs/sip-ms-msg/ar01s03.html#id2472711

Although MS provides its own SIP server, known as MS Live Communications Server, this article is based on experiences during the usage of MS Windows Messengers with SIP Express Router (SER).

In your real configuration, you have to replace the addresses presented in this document with the proper values for your SIP service. So, in the next examples we will use “sip-server.net” as the address of the SIP server (registrar and proxy), “3333@sip-server.net” as the SIP address of local user and “4444@sip-server.net” as the SIP address of the remote user.

Capturar ip con messenger

Aqui hay una basica, como capturar una direccion IP de la persona con la que estes chateando, esta es una de la formas, no la unica:

1.- se necesita una ventana dos (cmd.exe en windows xp) y el comando netstat -n
2.- Los puertos de envió de archivos del menseger están comprimidos desde 6891 hasta 6900, si tienes adsl se abre el puerto 6891. así que si los puertos de envió están comprimidos desde estos números solo se trata te enviar un archivo a alguien por el messenger. así con el comando netstat de ms-dos podrás ver las conexiones que tienes activas con su puerto respectivo. y así ver la ip del otro.
