Some visitors are reporting being blocked from the site but when I check they are in a protected range? Any Idea's on how to fix?

Did you load IP2Country? There have been some problems on sites that don't have that loaded. The developers are investigating, but you might wish to try that in the mean time...

Do you have to load each country one by one? I have ip to country installed but have not gone through every country. Is there an sql to do the lot in one.
Thanks for the quick reply Very Happy

It should be part of the installation program. You can load ranges of countries or everything at once, depending on your server's timeout period / capabilities.

I'm using the same computer, as always and it doesn't matter if I use Mozilla Firefox or Internet Explorer to try to access it.

Do you have any idea?

I can access with my laptop.

Try to access my test site at www.code-authors.com
If you can get on there than it must be something to do with your blocker settings.

Thanks, I emptied the ip to country table and reloaded the entries and it seems to be working OK now.
Thank all - fingers crossed Smile

Check the ip versus ip2c and see where you find that ip listed.
