Several things i want to mention to make youre future posts...better you can say 1. need help doesnt catch peoples attention change it to GUESS WHAT I NEED HELP AND I THINK IM BETTER THAN YOU 2. consider going to a site named www.google.com 3. get the answer from google 4. do not make another thread stating how you used google 5. consider getting into wow 6. change youre name Troulz to UltRa! 7. do not go outside anymore 8. consider not reposting stating how this post of mines is stupid Please commence flamming :twisted: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 8. consider not reposting stating how this post of mines is stupid But it was... it was pointless and helped no-one. If you don't know what someone's asking, either ask him to clarify his question or don't bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 How would i send an echo through MSN? Would you just type echo and press enter? This is kind of asking how would you send hello through msn :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Kitchen Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I don't think I quite understand the question. You say echo and I think printf, so i dont think we're speaking the same language yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Just a stab in the dark here but do you mean you want to send output to MSN so it sends it to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Troulz Posted October 12, 2006 Author Share Posted October 12, 2006 i mean so i can send a ping through msn to someone i'm talking to, and to get it to come back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparda Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 i mean so i can send a ping through msn to someone i'm talking to, and to get it to come back Esentialy, in a nut shell: Not going to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garda Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 This may sound really lame, but if you want to appreciate the delay length, organise with the other person that you're going to send a message, get them to prepare something so that they press enter as they see your message. The time this takes to go back and forth is your ping time lame i know, but afaik that's the best that msn offers you. you can't actually ping the other person's ip because msn uses their msn servers as go betweens so the ping times you would get wouldn't accurately reflect the ping time for your msn conversation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(But this would only work if both people are on the same msn server) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cooper Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 i mean so i can send a ping through msn to someone i'm talking to, and to get it to come back With some very true responses already been given, let me ask a question that's ominously missing from all this: Why? What's the point in pinging the other guy? Don't think the connection is working? Well, that would mean your connection with the MSN _server_ is down, so pinging the other guy won't help you. If you're looking for response time, you should once again look at the server more than the other individual. The only somewhat sane reason I can think of to ping someone is because you want to know the other person's IP. The best way to do that is to send the individual an URL to a location that you have access to, hope he clicks the link and check the server logs for his connection. You'd need control of a webserver, but that's trivial. Next time you post, add a little context. It makes for better, more helpful responses.

pseudobreed Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Direct connect file transfer + netstat = IP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garda Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 You don't even need to bother with netstat file transfers don't use MSN's servers, they happen directly (i think this may not be the case if you are firewalled such that it's not possible, it's a long time since i was reading documentation on MSN's chat protocol) so your client knows the other person's IP. I don't know if msn messenger shows it somewhere, but i know gaim gives it to you in the file transfer box. Just send someone a file and you've got their ip.

moonlit Posted October 13, 2006 Share Posted October 13, 2006 I don't think it shows it but you could probably grab it using a couple of smart API calls... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
