Ok, the IP address of the user 'A' who did nasty things has been recorded is black list of wiki. If A is using dynamic IP address means he will be given different IP address whenever he restarts his mechine isn't it ? So How you can ban this guy from accessing wiki ? becaues when he comes for second time he may be having different IP address isnt it ? On the other side the IP address recored by wiki may be given to some other legimate users by DHCP server, now he may not access the wiki isn't it ?. so i could understand that a person with dynamic IP cant be blocked by wiki or drupal is it ? -- Thanks a lot ----------------------------------------- http://ubuntuslave.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
