PS: and for those who claim you can find out the location of where that person is: that quite often will not work either. The IP will trace back to the address of your ISP, not the address of you (although sometimes it is the same city, but in general it isn't; country is usually correct though).

Only the last parts of the IP are "accurate". The first parts are just numbers given by your ISP for your address. This means, if this link between the numbers and your address is not known by such services which tell you the location of an IP, they will give you wrong (inaccurate) info and in practice this means what is said in the first paragraph: you can not find out the address.

But if you trace the ip, sometimes the hops also have pointers towards the possible country.

Or the reverse-dns entry (if there is one)
