Re: Blocking an IP Address

[web400@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Shouldn't it be "Order Deny,Allow"?!  Seems to me that it's checking the 
Allow directive first, because that's the order you've set up.  Since 
Allow says that everyone is allowed, it never checks the Deny.

Changing the order to Deny,Allow should solve this.
