Dude.. Look at your router's log.. See who's computer is renewing the IP's most frequently. Or if you can, associate a static ip for specific mac addresses.. That way, if he/she wants to change the ip again, they will need a new nic.

exactly - I thought that as well. Normally with any static IP (cable, dsl, college net for you lamers ) you MUST or well FORCED to associate it with a MAC. Now, in your dorm or house, you can have that mac be .... a router or main computer. Mine is a router. Soooooo, for a hacker to block your computer from that IP address he'd have to either A. be directly connected to your router, or B. be directly connected to the router that yours is talking too I.E. Charter Communications, Verizon, etc - unlikely. Basically, what your saying is that he is renewing his IP numerous times, and thus when yours is picked, disconnects you from your net. Well as stated above, associate your IP with a Mac address (normally underneath your router on a sticker) or if thats been done... then check to make sure you've got a secure network if wireless. If thats been done, then contact your service provider because someone very good is hacking there networks and renewing IP via change of MAC - again... unlikely.
