Pretty simple. Just block the offending IP on your firewall. You do run your webserver behind a firewall don't you?

Check the HTTP header HOST_IP or some thing of that sort ( e.g HTTP_IP_ADDRESS or IP_ADDRESS) on your page display the page only if it is your address else simply terminate the page

Set firewall to block connections from whichever IP you want.

True, firewall blockwill work, but keep in mind that Banning someone by an IP address would only work if:
firstly the person uses a static ip address;
secondly the user would not use an IP morph program to hide or change his ip.

How would the user be able to receive data then if the server thinks he's another host?
Person ---SYN--->Server
Server ----SYN/ACK---> ????
Isn't the only way a user can "change" his IP here by connecting through a proxy?

If the user is on dial up his IP gets reset each time, therefore you'll be nblocking an IP address not anyone particular come on.. thats just a little harsh

I have DSL (dial-up in the past) and my IP changes too, maybe every day, don't know.
The IP might even change when I power off my router and put it back on.
I think this is with most DSL/cable? users here, not sure again of course.

Do a whois & find out the rage of IPs for the ISP & block the lot.
Why do you want to do this?
Are you trying to rid yourself of a nuisance?
If so email the ISP with the complaint & tell them you will block their wholw range of addresses if they do not take action.
