You could just ask him not to connect. Alternatives are:
1. Select a new WEP key.
2. Configure the router to only allow the MAC Address of your computer on to the wireless router
You can get your MAC address from the wireless router settings page.

u would need to login into the hub and change the WEP key and passphase this will lock him out. you can also use mac filtering so that only hardware that u choose can connect to the hub.
to get the mac addres of your pc do start->run-->cmd
then ipconfig /all
where it has phyiscal address this is your mac address and u would enter this into the mac filtering. and then u dont even need a wep key since only u can connect.

Use mac address filtering so on your neigbour's pc it will say limited or no connectivity or change your network key.
PS: how did you acidently tell your neighbour is he a Hypnotizer .

you can change the WEP key for that..
that depends on the wireless router that you are using
try changing it to something that your neighbor could not guess..
just call your tech supoprt for that for assistance

if the key is known then the only solution left is to contact the ISP and get the account reset

on the icons next to the time, click on the wireless connection then click don't show to all. then after he logs off, he can't go on in future.
