To add to what Michael has said. If you're going to add the address to iptables rules to block the traffic the rule would look something like this: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 20:10000 -s 216.0.0.0 -j DROP -A = tells the kernel to append this rule to already existing INPUT table rules INPUT = name of a table -p = flag telling the kernel what protocol to apply this rule to. (must be specified when using the "--dport" argument. tcp = protocol name --dport = destination port where incoming packet is bound for. 20:10000 = expression specifying all ports from 20 thru 10000 -s = source IP address -j = target DROP = what to do with the packet when a match is detected. -- daRcmaTTeR ---------- Registered Linux User 182496
