Accessing your friends shared files through yahoo messenger






1) Open Command Prompt. Have some one on yahoo messenger send you a file; while the file is sending, in command prompt type -> netstat -an press enter

2)it will show alll Active Connections on your computer, in there under foreign ip for a number thats ends in 5050. this is the persons ip adress who is sending you the file

3)Now type : net use: h \\ (the person's ip adress)\shareddocs push enter wait for message to show up
4)If it is successful you should get a message saying command prompt was successful. If you get a error message than your attempt has failed, probably because the person has disabled sharing of files over a network.

5)if you get the message that says command was successful, than go to my computer. There you will see a file named "shareddocs on (the name of your computer)" open this file

you are now connected to that person's computer

hey i am extremly sorry i didnt noticed your comment so replying late.Well you r not using the persons ip you have written cs39.msg.dcn.yahoo this is dns of yahoo not the persons ip. IP is in the form xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx where x is any no and xxx ranges between 0-255. so you have to look for that..
