Default Possible to Trace an IP Address

Have any of you had to trace (if possible) an IP address?
I keep getting emails from my Web Page, (Client Survey) to my email that has "Garbage" for answers. Its been going on for about 3 months now, but only about 6 times. I have the IP address, is there a way to trace were its coming from?

Steven, yes you can figure out what city they're in and that's about it. But it's going to be a spam bot anyways. Just add CAPTCHA to your form so they can't submit your form.
