I know I have done something like this before, but can't remember how: I would like to set up all access to my web server from a given ip to prompt the user for a passwd. For instance, all ip's in the range 192.168.2.0/24 should be allowed access EXCEPT one ip 192.168.2.222. Could anyone throw me a bone? I have searched thru apache's docs & faqs, but have not turned up anything. I suppose the part that has me hung up is that the ip I want to match is in the same range that I want to allow. I have tried something like allow from 192.168.2.0/24 deny from 192.168.2.222 AuthType Basic AuthUserFile /path_to_htpasswd_file require user user_from_222 satisfy any v/r Mike
