Oh yeah? Try me.
Easily done actually....
Moreover, MAC addresses are only visible on the local segment. The MAC address on a packet is changed at each hop along a route.
Frankly, forget the technical solutions. DHCP addressing makes it a near impossible task. Svandamme is right, simple get a solid lock on the persons IP on day, then complain to high heaven to their ISP. Most ISPs are not interested in trouble. Throw around terms like 'legal action' for good measure.

Hmmmm...not exactly. Most of the routers/access points that you get for consumers use this as their address range. But the actual reserved private ranges are:
10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255
172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255
192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255
The 169.254.0.0 – 169.254.255.255 range is also reserved for automatic IP addressing in non DHCP environments.
