blocking access

Hi Jason,

How about using Location or LocationMatch directive.

http://httpd.apache.org//docs/mod/core.html#location
http://httpd.apache.org//docs/mod/core.html#locationmatch
--
<Location /*>  
   Order deny,allow
   deny from 68.52
   Allow from all
</Location>
--

However, you might have other directives - Directory, or Files that might allow connection from those IP address.

Check out how sections are merged - http://httpd.apache.org//docs/sections.html

The order of merging is:

   1.<Directory> (except regular expressions) and .htaccess done simultaneously (with .htaccess, if allowed, overriding <Directory>)
   2.<DirectoryMatch>, and <Directory> with regular expressions
   3.<Files> and <FilesMatch> done simultaneously
   4.<Location> and <LocationMatch> done simultaneously

So by using Location/LocationMatch, you would be safe.

Thanks.  I've implemented that.  When I see that it solves my problem, I'll set your comment to an answer.  Thanks again.

Here are the directives from my config file.  You've helped me successfully deny everything from the 68.52 domain *that isn't referencing my homepage*.  Thats exactly what I wanted.  But for some reason I can't block myself from my own homepage as you suggested.  I've increased the points to 60 and I'm accepting your answer.  If you can tell me how to block access to my homepage, I can't thank you enough.  But its not necessary.

<Directory "C:/Program Files/Apache Group/Apache2/htdocs">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AllowOverride None
    Order deny,allow
    Deny from localhost
    Deny from 192.168.1.102
    Allow from all
</Directory>

<Location /*>  
  Order deny,allow
  Deny from 68.52
  Allow from all
</Location>

Sure.  Thanks a lot.
