An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a specific address for a computer, much like the address of a home on a street. Obtaining someone's IP address will reveal their general physical location as well as their Internet service provider. To trace someone's Facebook IP address you must first obtain it, which requires you to receive a Facebook message from them. If you don't have a message from the user, send them one first by asking a question or inviting them to chat (Facebook chat and messaging are the same application).
Step 1
Close all open windows and browsers before opening a browser and logging into your Facebook account. Refrain from opening any other tabs or browser windows. Close all other programs that automatically connect to the Internet, such as iTunes, Google Music Manager and instant messaging apps. If you can, clear your browser's history as well as its cache.
Step 2
Open the message you received from the user. With the message or chat window open, click "Start" and then type "cmd" into the "Search Programs and Files" field.

Step 3
Type "netstat -an" (without the quotation marks) into the Command Prompt. The IP address of the user will be listed in your Command Prompt window.
Step 4
Log onto a free IP tracing website such as ipchecking.com, find-ip-address.org or hostip.info. Enter the IP address you found in the previous step into the search bar on the website's home page. The IP address will be traced and the information will be displayed for you.
Displays protocol statistics and current TCP/IP network connections.
NETSTAT [-a] [-b] [-e] [-f] [-n] [-o] [-p proto] [-r] [-s] [-t] [interval]
-a Displays all connections and listening ports.
-b Displays the executable involved in creating each connection or listening port. In some cases well-known executables host multiple independent components, and in these cases the sequence of components involved in creating the connection or listening port is displayed. In this case the executable name is in [] at the bottom, on top is the component it called, and so forth until TCP/IP was reached. Note that this option can be time-consuming and will fail unless you have sufficient permissions.
-e Displays Ethernet statistics. This may be combined with the -s option.
-f Displays Fully Qualified Domain Names (FQDN) for foreign addresses.
-n Displays addresses and port numbers in numerical form.
-o Displays the owning process ID associated with each connection.
-p proto Shows connections for the protocol specified by proto; proto may be any of: TCP, UDP, TCPv6, or UDPv6. If used with the -s option to display per-protocol statistics, proto may be any of: IP, IPv6, ICMP, ICMPv6, TCP, TCPv6, UDP, or UDPv6.
-r Displays the routing table.
-s Displays per-protocol statistics. By default, statistics are shown for IP, IPv6, ICMP, ICMPv6, TCP, TCPv6, UDP, and UDPv6; the -p option may be used to specify a subset of the default.
-t Displays the current connection offload state.
interval Redisplays selected statistics, pausing interval seconds between each display. Press CTRL+C to stop redisplaying statistics. If omitted, netstat will print the current configuration information once.

Hello,
ReplyDeleteI tries and did what was instructed by you but t displayed 300-400 ip addresses, so what should I do????
Informative blog useful for those who dont know anything about how to find the ip address of any user in facebook while chatting ..I followed the steps which you mentioned here and easily find the ip address of one of my friend in facebook ...After finding the ip address i visited sites like Ip-Details.com to trace the location of that ip address .They are rendering ip search tool which will trace the location of any ip address they will display details like ip location ,country ,ISP address and so on we can't trace exact home address of any person from ip we can only ISP details from ip ...
