The easiest and simplest way in W2K8 is to use the builtin Windows Firewall. it is enabled by default and blocking one IP address is a strait forward process.
Go to the Windows Firewall, accessed through the Administrative Tools. Click on Inbound Rules, then Right-Click on the Inbound Rules (both are required). Choose New rule. Set Rule Type to Custom, click next. Leave the next screen set to All Programs, click next. Leave protocol type set to any, click next. On the next screen leave the Local IP set to any. Change the Remote IP to "These IP Addresses" then add the address you want to block, click next. On the Action screen select block the connection, click next. Click Next on the next screen. Finally give the rule a name, click next. You are finished.

You will need to Right-Click on the Inbound Rules and choose refresh to see the new rule. If you decide later that you don't want the rule you can right-click on the rule and either disable it or delete it.
Versions of Windows up to and including W2K3 had an option called TCP/IP filtering. This allowed for a very basic IP address block. This feature has been removed in W2K8.
