Moreover, Is there any way that he/she can hide successfully (behind the NAT or something else)so that NO internal IP address is revealed?
Yes. The internal IP addresss should go no further than a table in the NAT router so the router remembers where to send the reply. It is replaced after this point by the public IP address of the router. Perhaps Yahoo Messenger could wrap up the internal IP address and use it to create some kind of transaction ID, which it sends with the message but although I'm not familiar with the software, I'm pretty sure many have checked and cant imagine something like that going unnoticed. However Ethrereal/Wireshark will capture the packets for you to inspect and make comparisons. Remember you _will_ find your local ip address in the source field of the ip packets, but this will be swapped by the NAT device. Presumably you can send http links in Yahoo chat? Your best bet might be a java, javascript, or activeX program to grab the internal IP address and relay it. Kind regards Colin
