Is it possible to find someones location, meaning adress or business connecting from, via their IP? No I'm not stalking someone :P I have a certain individual who is leaving crude posts on my online journal and I logged their IP and I'd like to find out who they are, if anyone could help, that'd be cool

You should be able to find all the tools you need on this page:

A simple traceroute usually gives you the general area of an ip address.

In windows you run "tracert <IP adress>" and look at the names of the hosts on the route to the remote host. Usually the names have some hints in them about geographic locations.
