I'm having trouble keeping a user out of my forums.

This guy with a dynamic IP address keeps registering and causing problems at my forum. Isnt there a more effective way of keeping him out rather than banning his IP address over and over? Both IP addresses I have banned have started with 212.202.

Is there a better way of keeping him out? I have vB3 beta 4.

I did an isp ban on mine for a special member (or ex member) In global php.

PHP Code:


		
			
$ipaddress=getenv("REMOTE_ADDR");



$ip =@gethostbyaddr($ipaddress);

if (stristr("$ip", "dialup.renocs.nvbell.net")) {

print ("Sorry but but you can not view this site. Feel free to email admin@sitename if you feel you reached this in error. ");

mail("admin@sanguinox.com", "Banned user", "$ip tried to view the forum and failed");

exit;

}

dialup.renocs.nvbell.net being the banned isp

I just tosed that in top of global (I got part of it from a hack in here someplace so I take no credit for it. I added the mail to (I like to know they trying) Call me odd.

in online options do a resolve ip, when the user logs in you see there isp in the resolve, vb3 shows it resolved if you look at there history I am not sure about vb2.

So once you have there resolved isp you can ban it as I just showed ya.

excuse me for being a n00b but where is the "online options" located? Is it in admin cp I assume?

Yes it is in admin options , whos online, resolve ip.

You can aslo do a find user, the name, ip's and if 3 it will show there resolved isp, if 2 I am unsure.

Never resolve the IP on every page load. Sometimes an IP is unresolvable and takes a few seconds to time out, stalling the page load.
