Finding the Miner's IP

[BitCoinDream]

Can we locate the miner's IP ? For each block, may we get to know on which IP it was mined ? Can we get a picture of geographical location of the miners ?

As Entropy-uc said, no we can't.

Pardon, who is Entropy-uc ?

In some rare instances, yes you can(but those are edge-cases, so I would appreciate any smart asses to not correct me). I managed to track down a guy that mined several blocks on top of the genesis block a couple of months back(just from the IP reported on BC.I).
