If someone posts a defamatory statement on a message board, what legal action is necessary in order to get the IP server to reveal the owner of the pc that was used?

How is one to go about suing someone if they can not identify who WROTE the post? I have contacted the police and they have told me I'll need a court order. But when I called the court, they said that since the post was likely out of their jurisdiction, they wouldn't know how to go about ordering the company to give the info to me!
