Few different way of doing it as well protecting own IP:
1.Most common way of compromising IP is to pass link to someone in IM. It is easy to create web page (containing anything: funny pic, video etc – even with free Yahoo Geocities http://geocities.yahoo.com/gcp/) than by adding script to page with help of free service like StatCounter: http://www.statcounter.com/ log IPs and system info (operating system name and version, browser name and version, last visited site prior to clicking – etc etc) of all people which visited site. There are also free (bit gay and fishy) programs which allow to send link in IM which when clicked display IP of person in it’s window.
2.By taking advantage of fact that some chat communications: some IMs, cams (supermode always) as well other chat communications are connecting sometimes via peer-to-peer connection, by using monitoring tools like mentioned netstat command (type: nestat –b), firewall monitor, this free tool: (http://www.microsoft.com/technet/sysinternals/Utilities/TcpView.mspx ) or best - packet sniffer, it is possible to monitor (and/or log) all connection which allows determining IP of person with which you instant massage, watch cam (or allow watch yours) etc.
To prevent someone from getting your IP you could:
1.Download YTunnel which allows blocking peer-to-peer connection in it’s preferences: http://www.ytunnelpro.com/ (you could also set firewall rules to do same however using tunnel is probably just easier).
2.Don’t click any links, especially since beside giving your IP you could get trojaned in totally invisible manner by briefly visiting page alone (unless you know how to do it safely) – to see how download and listen to audition #7 (fast forward it to 20 minutes 50 seconds) from this page: http://www.grc.com/SecurityNow.htm
3.Use proxy, or better (and safer) VPN client which will hide your IP both when clicking links and from sniffed chat communication – free, extremely easy to use zero configuration VPN client http://www.iopus.com/ipig/
4.Set your home to dynamic IP connection which allows changing IP on fly, should a need arise as when you suspect someone might have compromised your IP.
Even hacking through IP is relatively difficult, in most cases beyond reach of most chat hacker wanna-bes and booter kiddies, it is possible, therefore protecting own IP in chat is definitely security concern.
AFETR POST – After reading attached afterward details – you are confusing things:
HOW TO USE NETSTAT:
1.Click START button and type “Cmd” in RUN
2.In new black window type: netstat –b
3.If you IM or watch someone cam watch in command window in which you typed netstat for IP shown next to YPeger.exe (if using Messenger for Yahoo) which has address which suggest ISP not Yahoo or akamei. Yahoo addresses will have “yahoo” in its part (example scsc.msg.yahoo.com). ISP addresses will have abbreviations of ISP names as rr- Road Runner, level3 – Leve3 Communication, vzn – Verizon, cmcst – Comcast, ntz - NetZero etc etc.
AFTER POST2:
In regard to answer immediately below. Actually forgot about that one. All which is needed to track IP of e-mail it to click “Full header” link on page of e-mail massage. Information will be displayed as - Originated IP.
Instrucation provided on answer link is "belogny" - it will not work.

it really depends on the IM program. But 90% of the time you cant. You might be able to run the DOS command NETSTAT and it might tell you. NETSTAT is a program that shows you all open ingoing and outgoing ports and IP addresses connected to your computer. But if you are connected to a IM service ( I.E. AOL ) you will get AOL's ip not the other user.
