You can allow and deny ranges using htaccess, but why? Do you want to ban a whole ISP?

Other issues are programs that hide your IP address, spoof your IP address, prevent the headers from being sent, using anonymous or another ISP's proxy server and so on.

This may be an alternative solution, but you can use something like a proxy web host to access your site from the school and they shouldn't be able to deny you from your site. Have a look at this site:

http://www.safelizard.com

Down lower on the page you can type in a URL, and if you do this it will proxy your http web traffic. But if you have apache running you can modify the .htaccess file as BatVink stated, it is either there or httpd.conf, it has been awhile :S

Those proxy sites are usually also blocked by schools shortly after as soon as someone uses them.

no, because it's a domain name, not an ISP. Besides, working on that theory, you would ban every single easynet user.

Why can't the school just add the forum folder to their web-filter?

My school has banned pretty much every site except google...The reason they block TGC, was I went on it after completely every single bit of ICT work at the end of year 11 and the teacher said I can do what I want, but suggested that I would revise my GCSEs...I can see why nobody likes the admin . I mean he upgraded security when a computer nerd got Age of Empires running for us, and later Amiga OS (Emulated of course)...

i once put an FPSC game on the school computers, any admin should know not to leave the computer room for 20 minutes while still logged in when he came back all the computers were using the latest directx and the latest drivers and we were all playing each other in deathmatches that was the good old days

Scorched Skies is waiting,can you help

lol
remeber when I figured out a way past the "desktop-only" thing so that I could only access icons on the desktop; simple fix was to open the games folder(crappy games I might add) and then in the address bar type C:\windows\start menu and voila, full access(also the security prog was in their so I disabled a few pc's)

try jsut password protecting the folder and saying "well no one knows the password at school" or just changing the forum directory so they know nothing of it

But all my freinds at school would know the password if they were to use it, and I want to have a link to the forum on my site so changing the directory.....

Is there anyway to get the Host ip on a webpage?? I know the host ip is: 10.18.56.9
