OK...there really is no way to get someone's IP address...just about the closest you are going to get to someone's IP address is actually their ISP's IP address. The only way to get someone's actual IP address is to go get a court order and contact the ISP. You can never get an IP from just a direct connection..
Actually, an IP address is the identity of a computer/person on the internet. If you want to make a direct connection to another machine on the internet, you will need to have their IP address (and vice versa).

In other words: You can ALWAYS get an IP from just a direct connection.
