Topic: Ip range controll for new users

I wonder if its possible to make a function that only allow users inside a given IP - Range to register.  Everyone can see the forum, bet only those inside the given ip-range can register.

Re: Ip range controll for new users

If you've got all the users you want in a given IP range, would that mean that they also have email addresses at the same domain name? Don't know if there's a way to limit registration only to people with @domainname.com addresses (that's what I'm really looking for). That might be more effective, otherwise a random person who gets access to a computer in the IP range would be able to register, too.

Just thinking out loud...

Only allowing people with an IP address between e.g. 215.123.123.1 and 215.123.123.100 to register shouldn't be a problem. It's matter of adding one or two lines to register.php.
