I'm not trying to find a direct address or anything, I'm just trying to see if this person is in the same area as someone that used to post at my board.
What website can I go to? Or what tools can I use?

You can use traceroute or whois, but ultimately you're not going to find an accurate location. An IP is assigned by whoever provides the connection to the internet, so unless you ask them what house or address that IP traces to in their logs, you're not going to get anything but a vague idea of where it originates.

When it comes to individuals with DSL, cable, dial-up connections usually the best that you can get is a city. I have yet to see a free online IP tracer that is able to come up with more specific information
If a block of IP address are delegated to a specific company, you may be able to get the physical address of the company, itself.

If you go here:

this may give you an idea of where they are at. This may not be accurate at all, as others have said, it depends on who their ISP is. A national ISP will have less accuracy than a local ISP.
