Ah, if only life were that simple ;) There are laws against that kind of thing :o). He's on a local area network that I'm part of. I provide routed access to the internet, but he's allowed access to the network to connect to other users (this is at home, not at work - he rent's a room from me.) The problem is that he's running Internet Explorer 5 in stupid "go on line for no reason at all" mode and until he's either un-installed it, or fixed the problem I've told him that I'm shutting down his internet access. That said he's been a naughty boy and changed his IP address a couple of times to other people's. He thinks that I don't know, but of course I've got changing ARP addresses. What I'd like to do now is ignore his MAC address on the server instead to get around this. (I could disconnect him from the network but that's harder to police.)
