JJ, I am currently working on a custom 'work IP' permissions system based on the general IP ban but have nothing tested yet.

If ya need a 'nudge' look at Line#671 in global.php which calls the function verify_ip_ban() at line#551 in functions.php.

IPADDRESS is the system detected IP of person logging & $val is an element out of your 'banning list'. Would think it'd be a simple matter to test both IPADDRESS(your job IP) and the current forumid / user trying to log in.

Based On preferences, either return 'Ok' or let eval(standard_error . . .) do its work???

In my case if I BAN the work IP I'm looking to reassign anybody logging from a work set to a predetermined generic userid assigned a usergroup with restricted permissions.

Having done so, would I simply redirect back to 'index.php'??
