	Hi I have an IP range blocked 211.* as it is China, however I have been notified by another administrator that an IP address http://www.rolling-maul.com/admin_ip_blocking.asp?IP=211.88.31.225 - 211.88.31.225 registered. Any ideas why this could have happened please? (Good old "myspace123" user) Thanks

	We had the same thing - I blocked a spammer IP range xxx.yyy.. and a week later, another spammer registered/joined AND successfully posted spam as well. Registering is one thing, but for them to post using an address that was only a few numbers away from the original when I had a whole range "blocked" rather surprised me........

	wonderbison if you have 211.* in your IP Blocking list it should block the IP 211.88.31.225. I have tested with the latest version with those settings and it does work. There is a known issue with some older version though where IP blocking did not work correctly. billd3 xxx.yyy.. would not work as that it the wrong format as you can only use one wild card, not two as you have, you would use xxx.yyy.* Edited by WebWiz-Bruce - 18 January 2012 at 9:13am

	WWB Thanks for getting back Sadly it didnt block it for me and I am on the latest version. Is there anything I can set up to log for this going forward? Could it be that I also have a specific IP block for 211.174.63.251 as well as 211.*?

	It should work as it would run through the complete list of IP addresses. Make sure that you have not left any spaces infront or behind 211.* in the IP Block list.
