AIM and IP tracing

[Chairboy]

I'm not certain where you get this 'nobillity' stuff.  I think you're making a straw man argument.

All I did was give Wolfala a way to find out which ISP the harrasser has so he can report the user directly.

Everything else is a red herring of your construction.

Holy cow gentlemen! Ok, first - AIM is not subject to the AOL's TOS agreement. Therein lies the problem. 2nd, apparently the fella knows everything about me - my goal is to narrow down the search of who it could possibly be - i.e., get the IP, localize it geographically and involve the police from there. There's really not much to it.

But wow, I never thought i'd recieve a response like this. Seriously - thank you!

Any proper firewall (SW&HW) can make logfile of all connections to your PC.
Just save logfiles and send them to the stalkers ISP.

SEEING AS HE IS USING AOL AS HIS NETWORK AND THEN LOGGING ON AIM - I BELIEVE THE TOS APPLIES!!!! As well as law enforcement, FBI, NSA, and the ubiqutious suicide via high powered rifle though a 500 yard long piece of string.
