Lately, I've consecrate all my time on "getting an IP from the user I am talking to in linux". I don't know how to do it. I tried all kind of things, including netstat, but no success.

In windows that's quite easily, you just send a file to a user (to the one you are chating with) and then in console write "netstat -r" and woila there it is.

But in linux it's not nearly like this, so do anybody know this?

If you have an established connection directly to the user, then it will be stated in netstat.

Tried that and didn't find IP of the user (and I already know the IP).

Tell me exactly code of "netstat -?" and I'll try it?

And thank you for your help!

netstat -r -> is showing the routing table

you could try "man netstat" to get all information about netstat

or try "netstat -landtp" this will show you all network connections and the processes using it.
