bighops2000,
The MAC filter should do the trick. However, read this: http://www.tomsnetworking.com/Sections-article111.php
It doesn't sound like the person using your Internet connection is "cracking it" as the article explains. However, I would implement the suggested tips at the end of the article just to be safe.
As for sending them a message, you could use "net send". However the windows messenger must be running in order to receive messages.
Start | Run | Type "cmd" w/out quotes | click enter |Type the following command.
net send [computer name] ["message"]
You can send yourself a message to see what it looks like.

He must be on your network.
