    the messenger service will know the IP somewhere, but not necessarily on your client machine until you actually establish a connection with them for file sharing/net meeting/whatever. instead, messenger will send a request to the main server, which will then forward to the person you're talking to - the whole idea is to make it extremely difficult for anyone to find your IP when chatting on messenger (until you start direct connections sharing files etc)
