    Just because they are hacking into your eircom connection, does not make it legal for you to hack back.

    But your router should give you the Mac and IP address of any computer connected to it.

    I will lay a bet that you are still using the eircom supplied SSID and password. Other user could be on his iphone and using a simple app to crack the code and he is in. Takes 3 seconds to download and another 2 to work.

    As poster above said, change your security to WPA and most important change the password.
