finding out the ip adress of an msn contact

Is there a possibility to find out the ip adress behind an msn contact?

I got some annoying contact attempts and I want to find out from where they come.

Hmm, not sure about using the program itself, as I don't use it, but if you have a router and you know what port(s) it uses to communicate, in theory you could check your router logs to see what IPs packets are going to/coming from. But my guess is you'll just find the IP of a server your client is connecting to.

Setup a website or something (there might be a free service that does it) and link them to it?

The only way to get it via MSN is to open a connection...aka send/receive a file. Otherwise all other communications are relayed by the server.
