Normally (unless you're spoofing your IP address or your hostname or something like this), everyone on IRC who knows your nickname are able to find your IP. This means they can find your hostname as well. This means they can find out in which country (maybe even which city) you live, what is your ISP, information about your ISP etc' etc'.
Use the command /whois nickname to find this person's IP or hostname. If you're IRCing through a raw session (see IRC Warfare tutorial), type whois nickname instead.
Also, the command /finger may be quite useful in some cases, but it is possible to fake the returned information as well, so don't count on it.
