well since on hotmail, you can put anything for your name, it could be impossible without doing some phishing. sending them emails that look legit so they reply back to your email with their name or what not. hehe. perhaps set up an email address very similar to your friend's email, then send that person who you want to know who it is one of those "my name is" "my favorite color is" "boxers or briefs" you know the type. make it short though so they'll answer and reply to you..

Sign up for a different hotmail address, and then add them to ur msn messenger contacts list. If they were dumb enough to fill out their hotmail profile, then it will show up when u click the 'view profile' link. Otherwise, using the different email address, pretend ur some guy/girl who's up for a bit and get their info using that angle.

dnsstuff doesnt tell anything about who's email address it is.
