Just to reiterate, I'd simply dig or nslookup the ip addresses (or use one of the many nslookup webpages) and see if they have some contact info.
I'd suggest to use whois instead.
Really all you care about at this point is passing off some information to the admin that it looks like he has some nefarious activity on his network. You might also want to give him your ip address (and maybe mac) so he can sift your info out of any forensics he may do.
MAC address is irrelevant here, since it's only used on the ethernet segment your box is connected to.
