What does an IP tell you?

Hey everybody!

I had a question: What doe an IP tell you?
Can you exactly locate someone like e.g.: 123123 is England, 131232 is the Province, 1313412 is the street and number?
Is does it only tell the country?

I would love somebody which can help me with this, or post a website!
I actually got a deal witsomebody out school:
Me: You can only check the area where the person lives.
Him: You can exactly find the person.

thats about the best ive ever found
im pretty sure the average person can just get down to about your town, and your isp
but a clever person could find out more, especially if they can trick your isp into giving them your info

p.s. - if you do something illegal cops can get your ip, track it like that, then just ask the isp who that ip was registered to at the time the illegal activity occured

An ip address could tell you which ISP was used to make the connection to wherever you got the IP address from. It could do nothing more. Now you might be able to determine where the ISP is located and the ISP might keep records of who used used what IP - but that is not the IP telling you anything.
