A friend of mine was chatting with a guy on MSN and he said he found out her IP address just by chatting!! We have no idea how he did that  Can anyone clarify? As far as we know, he's not a hacker or anything, just handy with computers.

That's balls, simple as that. MSN Messenger's conversations are hosted on a server which the clients connect to, so the only IP address he could get is that of the server. Either he's lying, or he found out her IP address after something which requires a direct-connection, such as, like you stated, a file transfer.
