no need for .* or .
If you enter 88.123.11 then it will ban:
88.123.11.1
88.123.11.2
88.123.11..3 ......etc
If you enter 88 then it will ban every ip that has 88 in it so in this case you'd need to add an extra qualifier so 88.123 will ban every ip that has that in it, addind a dot5 after it like 88.123. will ensure that only ips's with another paremeter after the las t dot will be banned.
Hope that clears it up for you.
