I have received two emails that contain the latest variant of the
bagle worm from what I would assume is the spoofed address of someone
I actually know. The spoofed address is a hotmail account going to my
hotmail account. In the message path is an IP address of which I would
like to find the owner. I did try typing the IP address into Mozilla
to find the message...

Coming soon...

Would the IP addy shown on hotmail be accurate or could this just be a
proxy server on some unsecured system?

Could be the real IP addy, could be a proxy. Most likely it is the real
IP addy.

go to www.completewhois.com and put in the IP address to find out who
owns the IP address.
