Help me block an IP address.

So, my room mate isn't paying for his share of the internet, and this has been going on for some time now. I've just turned a blind eye to it because he's usually good for paying his share of everything else.

He uses a MacBook Pro for whatever on the internet, I don't care to find out but it just saps the bandwidth. And I live in a rural area still using overhead copper wires so no such thing as Fibre Optic around here.

So onto the main question and topic. Can anyone walk me through blocking an IP address? Or point me to some software that can block IP addresses.

My internet provider is BT and I have a BT Home Hub 4.

Many thanks,

Dan

I should also mention I've looked into MAC Filtering but the Home Hub 4 doesn't have the option to as far as I can tell.

I've experimented with Access Control before. I should have mentioned in the first place I would prefer to be subtle about blocking his IP.

Access Control just slaps a giant 'BT ACCESS CONTROL' logo on your screen.

And all the resetting will constantly boot me off it as well, that's the issue.
