it seems oddly like yur saying you wanna learn how to hack your friends PC even though you have no starting knowledge. If that is what your saying I advise you to take a look at the rules. If this isn't the case then you might wanna look on the great www.google.com for searches on basic IP information or check out a book on TCP/IP, which will give you some basic commands that could help you.
*NOTE* playing with your friends computer remotely without his permission is illegal. If you have his permission then just go over or get a web viewer program

Ok, it seems like you dont even know where to start... I'll give you a few tips that you wont probably fully understand but it will give you a basic idea.

1. Directly connect to the target (send/receive a file, or connect to talk over the computer phone) on MSN, AIM or any other chat server that allows direct connections. While the direct connection is established, go to DOS ("Start - Run - cmd" or "Start - Programs - Accessories - Command Prompt") and type:
netstat -n

Look in Foreign address, look for an IP that is connected to you on this ports 6891-6900

2. Get the target to send you an e-mail. Make sure your header options are on full (advanced):

Hotmail: "Options - Mail Display Settings" and check the box Advanced next to "Message Headings"

Yahoo: "Mail Options - General Preferences"

Check box "Show all headers on incoming messages" next to the "Headers:" category.

Their IP will be listed in the headers of the e-mail.

3. If you and the target are chatting on IRC, type: "/dns username"

4.) IM them this message over a chat:
http://127.0.0.1 (replace the 127.0.0.1 with your IP)
or
ftp://yourip
And intrigue them to click on it, one good way of getting them to click it is to tell the perverts it's a great free porn site! heh
Make sure you have a firewall set up so that any connections made will be logged, so when they click it you're firewall will tell you of the connection attempt and will log their IP.

5. Set up a free webserver and get an IP logger of some sort and have them enter your site.

In that case, forget everything you just read. In fact, forget the whole idea of writing on that topic. Your teacher doesn't want to read it. They've read hundreds of papers exactly like that over the last several years. There's nothing more to write about. Pick something interesting, like the formation of mold on refrigerated cheese.

Good luck with that ...
