In the newest version of AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) there is a way to
transfer files. When you are transferring the file, you can open a DOS
prompt and type:

netstat -a -n

By doing this you (obviously) can get the person's IP address. Usually it
will be on port 5190. This may seem pointless because usually not much can
be done with simply an IP address, but under certain circumstances this can
be useful.

Thanks,
