While being connected with a remote computer, during chat with a friend through massenger sevice or otherwise, how I can find out the identy of his computer & the location.

An app like ActivePorts will show all ip addresses connected to your computer but I don't think that with messenger programs it's the user's ip. I think the ip addresses are the services ip address. To find the location for an ip address you can use traceroute (commercial).
You can identify generic information about a users computer connected to you through a chat program. However, before I'd proceed I would feel better knowing the reason behind why you need to do this.
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
