Firstly, you can’t ascertain the exact location of somebody’s computer just by their IP address. The most that you’ll get is what you already have, their city, state, country, and ISP’s name. You cannot get any more detailed information.
Second, I don’t believe that it’s possible to get an IP from someone using Yahoo Messenger, but I could be mistaken. Maybe someone knowledgable from the Yahoo Staff could answer that from you. What I will tell you, though, is if you plan to use the IP address against someone who has been harassing you online or something similar, don’t bother. It’s not worth the energy to get the IP address of the user who’s been bothering you. Just block them, that’s the simplest way. I’m not saying this is what you, personally, want the IP for, but on a general basis, you should never need to know somebody’s IP address over IM or have the need to use it against them or find out where they live.
