Topic: Only ALLOW certain IPs not ban them.

In other words, I only want to allow 6 computers to get onto my message board (school computer lab computers).

Can I ban all ip's except the ones I list?

Yeah, what's that mean?

Like what do I do with the .htaccess?

Write something like

DENY FROM ALL
ALLOW FROM 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.2

in this order
