Basically if they have a fixed IP it will pinpoint their location or the location of their network or ISP.

However one thing to remember is that most often the PC the trojan is comming from is unaware that they have the trojan and it is self replicating. Most often this will happen to PC's that don't have any virus protection.

The other way it could happen is that the person sending you the trojan could be using a proxy to hide there real IP address.

All you can do is report it to the ISP and see where they take it.
