    Locating an ip address
    Is it possible to locate a person's ip address from their myspace id # and/or name, and if so.. how do I do this?

    No, it is not possible.

    Simple reason.

    IP addresses are basically an address for your computer. Every computer's is different. Myspace ID's are NOT unique. I mean, just search for "tom" on myspace, and you get thousands of results.

    EXAMPLE:
    I create a myspace on my computer.
    I change to a custom id at my friends house.
    I change my screenname at the local library.

    How could any of that be linked to an IP address, when it could be done from any computer?

    It's called privacy dude, if people can find out who you are by the accounts you open up online then there's about 5 people on eBay I would like to know where they're located. :D
