How do you block a specific computer from your site?

I know how to use htaccess to block ip addresses, but how do you block a specific computer from your site, regardless of IP?

I'm guessing you can't do it through htaccess. You'll probably need to find out the computers MAC address and do it via a firewall.

The above is a totally UNeducated guess

I wasnt aware that you could, if you block their machines address they can always refresh it anyway, thats my understanding anyway.

Yeah but most people aren't going to go into their registry & change their MAC address.

True.

But then again, if you are wanting to block a specific machine, thats not what i would consider something 'most people' would do either so id say under such circumstances we're dealing with someone that knows how to get around this type of thing.
