You can't. Well, not with any accuracy anyway.

The MAC address mean nothing at all outside of the network that it's connected to so don't even bother with it.

The IP address, IF AND ONLY IF it is routable on the Internet!, can be looked up in some Geo-IP databases, but don't expect them to be able to lookup all IP's and don't expect the location to be accurate within 50 miles.

For example, this tool[^] says my IP address is about 23 miles from where my machine actually is.
