The short answer is probably not. The second part of the answer is to never bring a knife to a gunfight. If your opponent is much more tech-savvy than you, don't bet folding money against him.
The longer answer to that question depends on what kind of internet service he has.
Most home-based internet service is provided with dynamic IP addressing in which the customer would get whatever IP address the provider assigns at the moment the customer is logged on to the service. The customer would not have any way to influence that.
For an additional fee, the internet service customer can have a fixed IP address. The IP address would be the same whenever his service is logged on. Again, there would be no way for the customer to influence the IP address although if he is seriously nuts he could have multiple services and multiple fixed IP addresses.
One possibility would be if your opponent is a technician for an internet service provider. If he had access to the IP address assignment software, he could do anything he wanted.
The guy could also be using an internet anonymizer which would provide a fake IP address for his use. That address would probably not be under the user's control.
