52. this is strange.. because
well, not much infos given.. BUT, "calling out" sounds like "a modem calls another pc / server via telephoneline".. okay. incase it really tries to connect to a second pc / server there is no need of an IP adress. and even if they use the tcpip connection, it would be a local adress that could be 192.168.*.* for example. and this one would be useless, as its used 100000 times in local networks.

if the system tries to "call out" to an internet service provider (ISP) via a modem connection, and logins there, then it gets an ip adress and uses tcpip that could be tracked.

so, some more infos would be needed to find out whats going on with this "IP" adress.
