How to Find the IP of Everyone in a Chat Room
The Internet Protocol address is a dotted-quad ID given to any device connected to the Internet. The IP address gives the user's location. If you are a chat room moderator and want to verify the locations of the chat users, you can use a command to retrieve their individual IP addresses. This can also be useful if you are helping victims of cyber-bullying or cyber-stalking within a chat room or group.
