The best way to deal with something like this is to pretend that it is real (in game of course) and deal with it the way that the game world would. How about bounty hunting? How about military/mafia recruiting players to hunt him down? Keep it a game. If people fall for a scam in a game, get back at him in the game. Don't suspend his account. That's just lame. I'm sure that not many people would continue to risk their characters' well being and those that do have it coming. Also, I think that would make an interesting off shoot for people on level a billion and have nothing better to do than start a war; new game content dynamically created.
I have had this problem with a few different combos of hardware and in my experience, it has nothing to do with the os. It is almost always that the cards are from different companies and do things a little different. I have spent hours trying to make my atheros cards work on the same network as others and even disabling the special abilities of the atheros cards, they just don't play nice together. I bet that you could solve your problems by simply researching the chips that you are using.
Note that most of the people on this board haven't dealt with this kind of problem. Many times that is because they use expensive hardware rather than the fry's special. I on the other hand am rather poor and will make that crappy hardware work no matter what it takes. Find out what type of cards your friends have as well as your own and you will likely start to see a pattern.
