It would be helpful if you have it, to post the entire user agent string. Typical one looks like this:

198.204.237.210
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:15.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/15.0

It tells us the operating system, browser, some add-ons and toolbars, and all versions.

Question: Does the banned ip address prevent login attempts?

From the banned IP it does. It blocks all access.
