ip adress

hello everybody

i am using guestbook 2.3.1 and now he logs host adress instead of ip adress. i see something like Host: d51530e30.kabel.telenet.be can i use this to block this person or do i need a ip adres like 61.127.324.45 and how do i manage this, in others words how do i setup this guestbook to block those persons...

thnx for your help

Hi Robin....you would need to enter the IP number under General Settings > IP Number Ban List in the admin area of your guestbook. I have quite a few IP's listed there now trying to block spammers. To look up a host name like d51530e30.kabel.telenet.be, try here http://www.all-nettools.com/toolbox under NsLookup.

Looks like a Russian IP to me. Have you tried using Carbonize's image verification? Works great to cut down on spammers
