Should work as is with the allow expression typed either way. Do you have Apache httpd or something similar acting as a proxy server at 192.168.200.188? A quick diagnostic might show if this is the case:
<jsp:root version="1.2" xmlns:jsp="http://java.sun.com/JSP/Page";> <jsp:directive.page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8" session="false" /> <jsp:text> <![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";> ]]> </jsp:text> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; lang="en"> <head> <title>View remote address test</title> </head> <body> <p>You are visiting from <b>${pageContext.request.remoteAddr}</b></p> </body> </html> </jsp:root> Drop it in your webapp and call it from various clients to see if the valve is really failing or a proxy is making them all look like they are from the same place.. Side note on the allow expression: the '.' character is a wild card character -- '192w168t200f188' would evaluate the same as 192.168.200.188 with the way you typed it the first time. '\.' matches the literal '.' character. If anything, the second one you tried was more restrictive. --David Peter Neu wrote: >Ok, I changed the allow attribute to a regular exp.
