No. First of all you're in the NetStumbler.org WiFi Forums > Software > Windows Forum. Secondly, the Newbie Forum is for help with NetStumbler, not MAC filtering. It is located at NetStumbler.org WiFi Forums > Newbie Lounge, although since this is not a NetStumbler question using that forum wouldn't apply.

Here's my spoonfeed for 2007: Yes, it is possible to evade a MAC filter. Yes, using a sniffer might help. However, if this this situation is even close to what you claim, then the answer is right under your nose. Well, it's under your brother's nose anyway. Observe the world around you. Don't go all high tech with a sniffer -which would be difficult under Windows- when you can do it with a pencil and paper.
