Yes. Look for a program called Neotrace. http://download.com.com/3000-2172-7139158.html?legacy=cnet
Type in ip address and it will search back through each node until source is found. Badger, you know nothing yet again.

badger? - what the fook?
it will only go back to their isp - which is gonna be somewhere not related to where they actually are - and the ISP is bound by the data protection act not to disclos that info - so unless you are the FBI and can pull a few strings the answer is no you cant trace someone through their IP address so GTF Cybermonkey

u still will never get a phyiscal address form an ip tho - it will be the ISP's - you could get a companies addy off of it - or whoever a domain is regstered to with that IP but at the end of te day the average user connected to an ISP with a dialup/dsl connection you will never trace their physical locetion with an IP addy

I can always get as far back as the original source, not the ISP location numbnut. Neotrace is what the FBI use anyway and is available to the public. It works perfectly evertime.

Neotrace will give details geographically of where an IP is....or at least to the nearest datacentre that is on the route. I can IP trace my server right to the town in florida...just using neotrace. takes 2 secs....ok it aint that accurate...but it gets u a rough idea.

lmfao sorry but that is utter bollox neotrace is a pile of shit that will never trace anyone back to their location by their isp you will just end up with their ip's server location and i seriously doubt the fbi would use something as uninforative and as lame as neotrace

If you're lucky you can do alright from IP but you'll generally need the full co-operation of a number of people. The worse case scenario if you only have web logs is that your target is behind a cache. You can do nothing with this short of ask the ISP for more detail and even if you have that, you'll still need to ask very nicely for them to tell you who signed up the account.
It'd be illegal for them to do this of course.
RIPE records are useful but only if you get an abuse team who don't ignore emails like most of the larger providers.
Having said that, I've known people be taken out of classrooms and put on immediate academic disciplinary on the spot. One lad was actually removed from a uni partially due to involvement in trouble on CS.
I like academic networks 
Incidently, I just installed NeoTrace and it was 200 miles out on my personal location and about 50 away from the CS server, and thats with as much information as I could give it.
I wouldn't pin your last hopes on that software and I'd certainly hope the FBI doesn't trust it too much
