In the general case, you can't find out. The best you can do is
look at the records of who owns the IP address that they used in their
last hop towards you. If it's a big company such as Tiscali
then the answer you get back might not even be on the same
(sub-) continent as where the person really is, even if they didn't
take any steps to hide their location.

Cute. It does a lookup on the ISP using whois and deduces the
location. It missed my home ISP by 15 miles, and my office ISP by an
amazing 75 miles. I'm in Ben Lomond, but it thought I was in San
Francisco (SBC DSL). Cute idea, but not very useful.

Most IP addresses are allocated in regional blocks. And many many broadband
providers attach DNS names to their clients' IPs which indicate their
town/city/areacode. Doing a reverse DNS, tracert, pathping and whois on
their IP will show you quite a lot. There's also a tool called VisualRoute
which claims to be able to do this for you but its payware.

Doing whois on your IP tells me the address belongs to blazeonline.com in
Amedabad, Gujurat. They're probably your ISP, or a backbone provider who
are reselling to your ISP.

Yeah, its quite innacurate for some types of user. Because my office had a
fat pipe in their US site, I showed up as being in Manhattan. Close. I was
in Paris - France....

Are you convinced that if you ask the question in enough ways the
answer will change?

Who is assigning these homework problems anyway?
