blocking ip - 2/11/2009 14:02:24
Hi there, I hope that someone can help me with this. I have a stalker, who's IP address I have blocked from my email server. She is now leaving rude comments through my Frontpage based website using my Contact Us page on the site. Is there any way to block her IP from using the Contact Us page? Thanks!

If you have a cPanel you can look at this tutorial on how to do that.
Here's another way doing it yourself with htaccess:
Blocking users by IP address is pretty simple with .htaccess.
Here is an example:
Order allow, deny
Deny from 192.168.0.10
Deny from 212.155.
Deny from 1.2.3.4 5.6.7.8 127.0.0.1
Allow from all
BUT be very careful doing this as it will mess up your FP extensions if you change the order of the FP stuff in your htaccess file.
If you are on a windows host then someone else has to answer you.

Doesn't your windows host have any help files or a contact us page? If you don't hear from a windows host expert here then try contacting your host.

The webhosting provider can block certain IPs at the server level. If you have a good relationship with them, it is possible. Just keep in mind this would block that IP on all the domain names that server has.
You might consider using an ASP (email) component to process the form and then you can add some ASP code to block that IP. (Unfortunately, a FrontPage form will not function on a .asp extension.) Do you know if the server has JMail installed? Do you want to consider going from .htm / .html to .asp? You could actually keep the same form (i.e. contact.html, but post it to an ASP page and in this ASP page you can add code to just block the IP). If interested or you have another ASP email component, let us know.

RE: blocking ip - 3/2/2009 18:05:21
Okay....I have to ask this again, as this person is driving me nuts with spam via my Contact page on my website. I am not a webmaster and have limited knowledge. I host my website with Godaddy, and I did call them and ask if they could block the spammer's ip, but they said that since I don't run my site on a dedicated server that they couldn't help. What can I do? Is there anyone who can help out there? Thanks much.
