God that sounds like a pain. You might be able to get some info on the offending machine by doing some of the following:
It sounds like the easiest way is to shutdown your machine and use another one to find out who is using your ip address. Try the Windows command nbtstat -A . If it's a Windows machine, you will get the netbios name of the computer and the name of whatever user is logged in. If they're registered with DNS, you could try nslookup to get their computername.
You could also try scanning for the mac address in any WINS and DHCP servers you have on your network to get the computername.
You might also run a traceroute to at least narrow down his location. Other than that, I'm out of ideas.
Good luck,
