Banning Certain IP addresses

wcbu · 2nd January 2007, 22:28

I did a search and even tried thinking...to no avail.

Recently I have been seeing many requests by 2 IP addresses on one of my SC Servers, but they disconnect and connect repeatedly dozens of times with only a second or so in between attempts. First, what's the deal? Bandwidth isn't an issue as others can connect during this time, including myself from another PC.

Second, how can I block certain IP addesses? I notice there is a BanIP feature, but it doesn't describe anything other than "configured automatically over the internet"

How do I turn the BanIP feature on and configure it?

Thanks, as always!

Nevermind, I figured out how to do it via the "admin login" on the shoutcast page. I think that's how its done?

Sorry for taking up space here

correct thats the way,

watch out tho as they may be not be static and could be different ip addresses another time so keep your eye on it,

Interesting, I just kicked a 192.168.1.xx off my server (must have left a machine running at work), and the tail log file shows the IP of the computer that kicked it, that's kind of cool.

While I was there I noticed the log file goes back to the dawning of time. How can I flush or ammend it?
