BYPASS PROTECTION HELPIf you made an error read this

There are three settings to adjust.
- Admin IP Low
- Admin IP High
- Admin Domain Name
The modification will install some default setting but they will need to be adjusted before enabling. We will set up an example address. The ip address will be ""67.195.112.83".
First you will want to do a
whois on the address.
Network
NetRange 67.195.0.0 - 67.195.255.255
CIDR 67.195.0.0/16
Name A-YAHOO-US8
Handle NET-67-195-0-0-1
Parent NET67 (NET-67-0-0-0-0)
Net Type Direct Allocation
Origin AS
Nameservers NS2.YAHOO.COM
NS1.YAHOO.COM
NS5.YAHOO.COM
NS4.YAHOO.COM
NS3.YAHOO.COM
The IP low and High is the beginning and end of the netrange where your ip can be located.
Here I choose:
Admin IP Low can be "67.195.0.4"
Admin IP High can be "67.195.255.254"
Why did the "Admin IP Low" start at x.x.x.4?
- x.x.x.0 Is the automatically assigned network address.
- x.x.x.1 Used as the gateway address.
- x.x.x.2 Used for addresses within the gateway.
- x.x.x.3 Addresses beyond 3 are used for users.
Admin IP High end at x.x.x.254?
- x.x.x.255 The broadcast address.
You should narrow it down further the only be the range of ip addresses you will access the forum. If you have a fixed ip address then both low and high are the same.
If you check your
DNS record for the same ip you will get:

The "Admin Domain Name" is a shortened version of the "A or Answer record".
You want to take part of the right end of this record. The part that does not change. Usually after a dash or before a weird number. Too much and/or too little can be an problem. In this example I would use "crawl.yahoo.net" as the "Admin Domain Name".
