Restrict based on IP address

Hi,

I have to restrict access to a site based on IP address. While I have
been able to this successfully with code in the Global.aspx file, some
if the IP address are not single IP addresses but rather ranges.

If I know the network ID and the subnet mask, how can I check if a
given IP address falls within that range?

Thanks for any help,
Richard

You perform AND with the netmask to the IP you want to check, then compare
the result with the network IP of the netmask, if they're the same, then the
IP you want to check falls in range, otherwise, proceed to next network IP +
netmask pair...

Download and use Softperfect's free network scanner :

http://www.softperfect.com/products/...canner/manual/

It will help you understand these concepts a lot
easier than working on a theoretical basis.

In particular , check the "Options" - "Auto detect Local IP range" menu.

Download it at : http://www.softperfect.com/download/

OTOH, you *can* ban by IP range in global.asax,
if you use the Left function in VB.NET.

i.e., if you are interested in banning IPs from 192.168.0.0 to 198.168.0.255

you'd check the UserHostAddress and use the Left function
to determine whether the leftmost 9 characters are 192.168.0.

That would identify the 256 IP addtesses from 192.168.0.0 to 198.168.0.255

The same principle applies to any IP range.

Oh ban by Left()... Then it'll left tiny holes if the netmasks are
128/64/32/16 ones.. :P

Well, that *was* an alternate choice, not a primary recommendation.

Can someone give me a short example as how to best use this keyword in your code? This is my understanding: by definition restrict sounds like it is suppose to restrict access to memory location(s) pointed to, so that only one declared pointer can store that address and access the data in those memory blocks, where I the data in those location(s) can be changed. Is that a correct understanding?

In Harbison and Steele's book, they say that using 'restrict' allows functions like memcpy() to be prototyped like this: void * memcpy(void * restrict s1, const void * restrict s2, size_t n); But this seems a mite dangerous to me ... a restricted pointer ... is *assumed* to be the only to access an object. So, mightn't using such a prototype subtly imply that the compiler will *actively check* that s1 and s2 do not point to the same
