I'm curious as to whether your building has a shared network. Some buildings are wired to provide a LAN within the building. However, if your connection is via Cable or DSL that may not be the case.

The most you can tell from the IP address that your firewall blocked is the ISP that issued it. Anything more would require a court order.

You can use samspade.org to track the IP back to the ISP.
