on a P2P network is there a way using only windows xp base tools and utilities that you can find someone else's IP address?

...windows xp base tools and utilities.

So, with only windows xp base tools and utilities and NOT being on any P2P network, where are you going to start looking?

More likely, when you ARE on a P2P network, have a look at the drop-down menus from the top bar and enable 'Monitor Connections' to see where stuff is coming from/going to.

Remember though, that you are NOT sharing a complete file with one user, nor are you downloading a complete file from one solitary user - you are sharing thousands of pieces of one file with a sometimes equal number of other machines.

That's how P2P works. ;)
