Hi, Knowing the other parties IP address wouldn't help you trace who was actually on the other end or where they where from. The chances are that 2/3 of peeps connecting are using a dial-up connection through an ISP, that means that the IP address will be dynamically set, which means everytime they log on they get a different IP address. If however they were a broadband user, their IP address may well be static (No-way of tracing as far as I know), unless their broadband ISP houses a ip pooling situation which means that every 24 hours they release your IP address and re-assign you another one.
Hope this helps
