Default Where to get the IP of a person using messenger

I was wondering if it is possible to lookup someones IP?
A guy is using a secondary MSN account to spy or
something.
I want to know who is doing this.

Greetings,

The only real way to get someone's IP from Messenger is if you use one of Messenger's
functions which go directly from your computer to theirs (ex. file transfer, voice/video,
whiteboard, etc.). After the connection is established you can use the "netstat" command to
see who's connected to your computer, which will show their IP. To run "netstat", click
Start, then Run, enter "cmd" and click OK. Then type netstat and press enter.

However, there really isn't anyway someone could "spy" using a "secondary" account.
