The only way I've ever been able to get a user name from an IP is to
try to get the NetBIOS table which may or may not give you a clue as
to what the user name is. More ften than not, a host not found error
wil appear.
nbtstat -A IP_address
To read log files while everything is running, I would imagine that
you would have to disable loging for that period of time.
