It's still a lot more difficult for your average user to change a MAC address than it is IP though.

I agree with you, But if the user is not fluent with Networking / IP's and does not have internet connection he will not know how to change this, and probably be too scared to as he will think it Will Break his PC.

Just am update, I can't do Mac filtering as such.. there is no actual option for that!
Ill post my.options later today!

enable MAC address filtering on the router

Took me 3 clicks from the network connection's properties to get to this:

Also takes 3 clicks to change the static IP as well xD

(assuming the nic your using supports changing of the mac via its properties, not all do)

Although the MAC address filtering will still work best as you'll still need to actually find an allowed MAC address and it won't work very well if the other's device that you stole the MAC address from is actually also on the network at the same time.

Tis the best solution without over complicating it.
