The absolutely most effective way to do this is to pick up the phone and call the system admin of the ISP that owns that subnet and tell them they have a user that is cracking you, and then ask what e-mail address to send the evidence to. Speaking as the system admin of an ISP I can tell you that I can count the times I've gotten e-mails and calls like that on the fingers of one hand - but I will also tell you that I've investigated all of them and in a few cases thrown users off the system and handed their names and addresses over to the victims for civil prosecution. I really wish more victims would speak up instead of remaining silent.
