Hi,

Better post a print of who ever is blocked....
If you did a new install that it can happen cause those ip ranges of for example google arent protected yet.

Hi I did an upgrade and this has happened ? I have been upgrading Sentonal for about a year now and never once had this problem.

well same here...
but i dont have any problems...
are you sure they are banned?
But if you upgraded then i asume you have the protected ip ranges in sentinel ?

I cant remeber ever adding then myself to be honest does sentinal or should it already have the ranges for varius seearch engines? if not where could I find the ranges to add etc? I have just checked and it shows I have no protected ranges?

Well ,its mentioned a few times on the forums here so it cant hurt to look around a litle bit...
As for google..
Put this in the protected range menu:
66.249.64.0 - 66.249.95.255

Same goes for other engines..

I see I am just wondering now how I would go about collecting other search engine ip ranges?
thanks for this advice
