Hi Jim / Sandy / Rene: Thanks for the tips. Given that my IP Address changes on a daily basis, it makes the allowed hosts route a poor choice for me.
I guess from what Jim says below, that I should be setting RESET_ON_SUCCESS to on. I was not aware that a successfull login with out this would not reset the count. I really appreciate the super fast replies. Steven --- Jim Cheetham <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On 01/10/2007, Steven Colbert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > wrote: > > My question is how can this work?
