Hey good to see you here. About blocking IPs to your webpage can I ask why you need to block IPs? Also do you know exactly which IP you want to block? There are numerous ways in which you can block an IP from visiting your site, but it kind of depends on your circumstances and what you are trying to accomplish.

Good to be here,
Reason I need a ip blocker is that I have this gammon league with over 300 members in halsoft but there is this guy keeps coming there and harrassing people while they are in a tournament. so I just was wondering if there is anyway i could block him from entering my pages. any ?

Okay well first you will need to know his IP. If you cannot figure out his IP you will not be able to block him from your site. If you do know his IP then you can try placing a .htaccess file in your root directory of your website. However it is possible this will not work if your host provider for your website does not allow overrides to take place in the .htaccess file or if your system simply does not support the .htaccess file

Anyway you can try this:

• Create a file named .htaccess in your main directory of your website
• For the contents of the file put this:
  
  Code: [ Select ]
  <Limit GET POST>
  order allow,deny
  allow from all
  deny from 111.111.111.111
  </Limit>
  
  1. <Limit GET POST>
  2. order allow,deny
  3. allow from all
  4. deny from 111.111.111.111
  5. </Limit>
• Now simply change 111.111.111.111 to the ip address you wish to block.

I recommend you test this code with your own IP address or someone elses IP address. That way you can be sure if it is working or not. If it works the IP address that you list there will have no access to the site, they will be denied.

I sure do know his IP, but the thing is he is on dile up and changes Ip like I change girlfriends..LOL
anyhow I will try that.. I belive there is a script to tell you people's ip when they enter your page.. Thank you so much, will let you know if it did work.

sorry to bother you, but I didn't undrestand what you meant by Create a file named .htaccess in your main directory of your website
For the contents of the file put this:
would you please explain a bit more?
Thank you

Simply make file with notepad. Put the contents above that I posted above in that file and change the ip address to the IP you want to block. Now upload that file to your server and make sure the file name says .htaccess on the server.

Hi there
I undrestood most of the instructions you gave me but the last part.. What do I name the file as? I'm sure it has to be something.htaccess or is it just .htaccess !
Thank you for all your time.
Arman

JUST ".htaccess"

thats it.
you can put it in any directory you want to protect from the guy... it'll also protect any subdirectory of the directory you place it in.

here what I got when i uploaded it.
Invalid file name: .htaccess.txt
is that mean my server does not support it?
Arman

its because you probably created it in notepad or wordpad...
on your PC... rename the file to... ".htaccess"
not ".htaccess.txt"

you might have your options set to not show known file types so it might not even show .txt when you view the file on your PC..

anyway... i'm sure your FTP program allows you to rename files too...
so... through whatever means .... rename that file ".htaccess" and thats it..
then it'll work

Hi there
Thank you for being patient with me, now I'm lost.. well if I use notepad then the file name will be .htaccess.txt for sure, if I use my dreamweaver, I give the file name .htaccess after its saved it shows there is no name on that file but it showing like an html file. I must be doing something wrong here cause even that when i upload it says Invalid file name: .htm.. all I know is there has to be a name before .htaccess. the file I have saved on my pc says .htaccess but only when I upload it it shows as .htaccess.txt, now this either should be a html file or just a txt , the reason is failing is cause the file name is starting with a dot.

Only letters, numbers, or '_' are allowed in the name of a file or directory.
just tried two other servers to upload the file name .htaccess and both said the same thing!

Okay Arman do this.

Make a file on your computer called htaccess.txt and put the contents that i said above in it. It should work as that filename is windows compatible.

Now upload that file to your server. You will now have a file called htaccess.txt on your server.

Now rename the file on the server (NOT YOUR COMPUTER). Rename it to .htaccess

Hope that makes sense.

Hi there,
Do you know where I can find a script for floating tool bar which stays on the page eventhough when you scroll up and down?
Thank you
