Re: blocking someone's IP

[meggy]

I know that they are from AOL, I thought I would have a problem with that, but is there anything else I can do?

[inexistence]

sure there is. But first where do you want to block them from?

Are they trying to break into your workstation computer? or do you just not want them in your website?

If they are trying to get into your workstation.
Get a firewall
end if

If you dont want them in your website.
Is your website on a webserver to which you have admin rights?
Is the website on your ISP webserver?
Is the website on a third party webserver?

If you have admin rights,
use the webservers access controls
end if

If you are using your ISP,
call them and ask them to change the access controls for your
webspace. (there may be a fee)
end if

If you are on a third party webserver,
google for ip ban javascript.
I found this http://javascript.internet.com/user-details/ip-filter-2.html
end if

I hope this helps

If helps = true
send money to me
end if

Put this in your .htaccess file

order allow,deny
allow from all
deny from 123.456.789

end of 123.456.789 IP entering your site!

.htaccess rocks! Of course I am too lazy to stop people hotlinking off of my site because a. not that popular anyway and b. university server = unlimited bandwidth for me.
