Hi, I have around 120 IP Addresses I want to block from my Webserver
(Windows 2003 server). I assumed that I could just do it nice and
easily much like APF firewall in Linux by pasting the ip addresses
into a text file....

After spending the last few hours looking all over the Internet I
cannot for the life of me find a nice easy way program to basically
say..

"If the request is from this ip address deny it"

I looked at using ZoneAlarm but people said it was not compatible with
Windows 2003 Server.

Any recommendations about how I can this more then welcome.

Thanks
Markus

Howdie!

Not sure whether my first answer came through, but I guess IPSec can do
that for you:

Hi Florian, thanks, I did take a look at that but it seems incredibly
complex; I can't believe there is not a Windows equivalent of APF
firewall...

Thanks again!

It seems to me this is more of a firewall issue vs. a server issue. You
can do things with ASP.NET to block IP addresses, but on our firewall
box it's easy to add IP addresses or a range of IP addresses to be
blocked - by service, or for anything.

You might want to check there...
