Isn't there a source and target?  

When I was trouble shooting my problem I did a netstat.  That gives you both source and target IP addresses and there are tools that Give you a location of a target IP address.  (How do you think some ads show you dating information about girls in your area.)

You can also run a "trace route" to see who they are connected to.  

Once I found out that forign IP address I went to there web site and called, They told me that they had nothing to do with the Ads and malware on my computer. be I sounded like they know I was not the only one that called.  

Once you get an IP address there is a lot of information you can get.

    And gets you what, exactly?  Unless you know where, when and what to 
look for, you're never going to see it.  And in such a scenario, you 
design things such that "phoning home" doesn't directly point at you, 
the originator of such things.

    There are ways of defending against such things, but firewall 
connection tracking isn't it.
