Hmm, not quite sure what you're asking. I can see the IP's used when users post messages, and the IP a user registered from. In theory (by looking at log files) I can see IP's of all visitors, I could then cross-match that to an individual users activity (but that'd be a pain).
Of course IP then has to be converted into ISP.
Any reason why?

um, whilst you could identify roughly where people log in from that assumes they're not using a proxy. If you use a proxy service then your real IP is obscured and some of those services let you select where in the world you'd like to appear to be coming from - it's how you get to watch Hulu in this country if you're so inclined.
