Only if you directly connect to them, if you send a file or receive a file from the other person, you can use "netstat -a" on the command line and look for the port and ip that you are connected to. MSN only uses a certain port range for file transfers. This should make it easy to pick out the right IP.

I have tried this but the screen only shows for a fraction of a second. How can i get it to remain for a while, to check the list?

Go to start, run, then type cmd for windows 2000 or xp or command for win98 or millenium, then hit ok. Now in the dos prompt type netstat -a and it will remain.

This has also been tested
Start > All Programs > Accessories > command prompt, then type in "Netstat –a"
For repeat lists press Up Arrow and Enter.
But the method used by ElectronicsFreak also works just as well.
