You could try these ideas.

Change the SSID of the AP if you haven't got too many clients.
Try and connect to the ad-hoc client and then scan it to find out what its machine name is.
There maybe an option to stop clients connecting to ad-hoc devices. I think I remember seeing it on the Windows XP client.

Hope you dont mind my asking, but which school is this? if your using Apple Mac systems, i dont know how to help. if you're using windows XP it can be found in a submenu of the wireless settings.
