    I have just installed MS2008 and also started to learn programming for a few months. I like computer programming, the MSDN online and offline versions is my best reference, I have tried skimming through the C# classes that are related to network programming and YES, it turbocharges my understandings of the server and client communication methods.

    I guess this all depends on the particular IM protocol being used. I would use a network sniffer (Wireshark for example) to view how certain IM clients connect, then you can determine what IP\ports they are using.

    For example, Windows Live Messenger 2009 performs a DNS lookup to messenger.hotmail.com, and then goes out on port 1863.

    Thank you, it's working.
    How can I get the ICQ and FaceBook-Chat IP/Port?
