My neighbor says what you said above is totally wrong in that it doesn't
matter what IP address I use because he uses something called winpcap to
snair the router IP address off the air!

He says he gets an "ARP" from a program called ethereal which tells him all
the "who" and "tell" arp commands which tells him every router's IP address
in the neighborhood. So he called it 'smoke and mirrors' to change my IP
address.

That's why he suggested I find a patch to the Linksys WRT54G
GENERIC-MAP-NOMATCH vulnerability.

By the way, he said there are more than one vulnerabilities. I asked him to
show me in writing and he just sent me something which I'll post to you
once I clean it up a bit.
