This happened to me, once, but the (paranoid) guy was using
a dynamic IP from his provider. The day before, somebody else
had this IP and ran a donkey client I tried to connect to
the day after, not aware that this wasn't the same machine.
The guy complained about being 'attacked'... 

Was your guy really attacked or did he complained about
two attempts of connecting in one hour ? :-)

I use traceroute to get the name of his machine from his IP,
and the nodes just before him. This helps knowing which 
provider he is using.

Hope this helps,
