How to track a ip address?

[viperpa33s]

I use to know how to do this but over time I forgot. What is the command to know what ip address's are accessing your computer? I know in Windows XP you can go to start, run, then type in command. What I forgot though was what commands to type in to bring the ip addresses up.

I know if you type in ipconfig, that will show the ip address of your computer. What I need to know is the ip address of someone trying to access my computer. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the info, but thats not what I need. I know about that site though.

What I need is this as a example:


If I am in Yahoo messenger, when someone personal message's me, then I go to Windows command prompt, and do the trace command, it will bring up the person's ip address that is messaging me. It will give a list of other ip address's, you just have to look through the list to see which one it is. What I need to know what is the command to bring up the list of ip address's.


Thanks

Netstat:
Displays protocol statistics and current TCP/IP network connections.
Type netstat/? at the command prompt for help on the command.

Will a right click and selecting properties give you the information you need?

Right clicking won't work in Yahoo Messenger. Yahoo messenger has it's own set of ip address's but when your in a personal message it gives the ip address of the user.
