how do I go about getting a person's IP address from a Yahoo chat? And once I get an IP address can I find out where it is? I have a internet gf from Paris who says she loves me and my family. I keep asking for her phone number and address so I can send her gifts and cards. She doesn't want to give them to me. I am panning to visit her in Feb to be with her for two weeks. I keep getting told she is not what she seems because she won't give me this info. She hasn't even shown herself on cam. just pics. My dad says it might be a man who wants to rape me or enslave me. What you think? Anyway I can get the info behind her back?

There is no easy way to get an IP from an Internet chat. And even if you could, it would be useless to you. The IP address would only get you to the ISP that serves your friend. It would not allow you to get all the way to the person.
By law, an ISP is not allowed to tell you who is using an IP address. So most disguise the address so that you can only get to within a couple hundred miles of the person. (Since you already know they are in Paris, that would not help you any).
If you really want to build a relationship with this person, going behind their back to get their name and phone is not the way to do it.
