Okay then, without knowing the IP then what are your options? Enumerate through each and every IP until you get the responce you are expecting? You may have to involve another computer to accomplish what you want if you are wanting to do something like a chat program. However, you may be able to accomplish what you want if you want to use email, specifically POP3.
Good Luck

Use skype - service works 24/7, secured at decent level + API is very simple you can use it easily
