What is IP Radar? IP Radar is a Shareware program designed to help you keep track of and find your friends anywhere on the Internet the moment they connect!
IP Radar uses a proprietary method to send quick messages across the Internet. These IP Radar 'bursts' can be recognized by any other IP Radar. When one IP Radar finds another IP Radar on the Internet, they quickly exchange information to see if you have found a friend you are looking for (who is also looking for you). The moment IP Radar determines that it has found your friend, it notifies you and your friend of your respective IP addresses.
There are many advantages to knowing the IP address of an Internet user. Programs such as FTP (File Transfer Protocol) and IDC (Internet Direct Chat) allow you to communicate directly across the Internet from point to point. Some FTP sites are private and 'go up' at varying times and using different IP addresses. With IP Radar, you can 'roam' for these sites and find them (if they want you to) whenever they are 'up'.
YES - IP Radar is extremely fast at locating your friends anywhere on the Internet! What makes this possible is the fact that even dial-up accounts (which offer different IP addresses each time) produce IP addresses within a fixed range. In other words, the first three digits of most dial-up IP addresses are always the same - only the last digit changes (if at all). So to find a friend, IP Radar has to scan only the range of the last digit of your friend's IP address - and that just takes a moment!
IP Radar is designed to enable friends who are looking for each other to find ONLY each other on the Internet. This is accomplished (and secured) using Password Pairs. IP Radar friends are identified by their E-Mail address (or some other chosen ID name). In addition, for each friend there are TWO passwords - the password your friend must use to contact you, and the password you must use to contact your friend. In order to make a match, IP Radar must find correct IDs and passwords on BOTH ends of the match! In addition, you may also choose which of your friends you are looking for at any time.
To run this product, you need the following minimal system:

Getting Started To use IP Radar, you need to create a directory on your hard drive and copy all of the files included with IP Radar into that Directory. To start IP Radar, from Windows, you must run the program file IPRADAR.EXE. You can do this by selecting 'File|Run' from either the Program or File Manager. Once the program is running you should see a main control form as shown below:
![]()
'My Real Name'
'My E-Mail Address'
To Add a Friend...

'Friend's Real Name'
'Friend's E-Mail Address'
'Password I Must Use to Contact Friend'
'Password Friend Must Use to Contact Me'
'IP Address Information of Friend'
'Partial (Changing) Address'
'Complete Address'
Once you have added one (or more) friends, you are almost ready to turn IP Radar ON.
