.htaccess question

[SID MAN]

I need to allow access from a ton of ip's to my members area.

I hope you can help me out here, will this .htaccess file work ??

=============================================

order deny,allow
deny from all

allow from 202.139.119.0 to 202.139.119.256
allow from 202.139.171.0 to 202.139.171.256
allow from 209.208.250.0 to 209.208.250.256
allow from 194.133.124.0 to 194.133.124.256
allow from 207.35.155.0 to 207.35.155.256
allow from 195.13.105.0 to 195.13.105.256
allow from 213.253.128.0 to 213.253.128.256
allow from 213.253.129.0 to 213.253.129.256
allow from 212.90.37.0 to 212.90.37.256

========================================


Or do I have to specify each IP ??

no it wont - do it like this...

allow from 202.139.119.0/256
allow from 202.139.171.0/256
allow from 209.208.250.0/256
allow from 194.133.124.0/256
allow from 207.35.155.0/256
allow from 195.13.105.0/256
allow from 213.253.128.0/256
allow from 213.253.129.0/256
allow from 212.90.37.0/256

And I am 99.9% sure that ip's only go up to .255, so the .256 may give you some issues.

Thanks man

You can be 100% sure.. IP do only go up to 255.

[magnatique]

an ip is 4 bytes....
it's 2^8 where 0 is the first one... 256 combinations.... for one byte

am I wrong?

SID MAN - No problem, if you have any problems configuring it, feel free to shoot your.htaccess file over and I'll configure it for you & shoot it back your way.

Robert - Not really, but heres a cool little page that has a few of the most common functions poeple want to achieve with htaccess.
www.uswebsites.com/support/htaccess.shtml (http://www.uswebsites.com/support/htaccess.shtml)

I would check out www.apache.org (http://www.apache.org) and do a search for htaccess if you want to get down to the nuts and bolts of it and how it works on conjuction with your different mod's.

Mag: You're right... so if it starts at 0 it ends at 255 http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

[magnatique]

of course i'm right http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

that's the only thing I learned in my "intro to computers" class I had last semester LOL

[SID MAN]

Thanks for all your help.....

I talked to a few dialer companies, and they advice me to run two different members area(Just a copy of the excisting membersarea), because the surfers can log of the dialer and stay on the members area using their normal connection ??

Shannon, I will give it a go, and see if I can make it work....Thanks man...
