      Unless it happened during school IP won't get much by oot 2004-10-21 16:54:08
All you'll likely be able to figure out from the IP is what ISP the person uses at home. Getting from that info to knowing who the person is usually involves getting the ISP to cooperate, which is probably unlikely since the person hasn't broken any laws by being an @$$hat.

IIRC, when you're chatting with somebody on AIM, you see the IP address of the AIM server, not their computer. If you want to get his IP address, see if you can transfer a file to him or him a file to you... those transfers go through direct instead of via an AIM server, so if you use netstat while you're transferring then you can get his IP.

If it did happen during school hours, email me his IP address when you get it (same address as when I was in high school).
