IP Range Banning

I have a speed test script on Freedom2Support that is to test the speed of a freedom2surf adsl connection with a 2MB test file, however I want to make it so only people who are on an IP in the:

194.106.*.*
and
195.137.*.*

Ranges can access speedtest.php, how can I do this?

In an .htaccess file:

Code:

Deny from all
Allow from 194.106.*.*
Allow from 195.137.*.*

I think that should do it.

What do I use though if I want to just protect one page, rather than the whole directory?

As I want to make speedtest.php accessable to F2S IP's only but the rest of the directory avaliable to anyone.

Try this:

Code:

<Files speedtest.php>
Deny from all
Allow from 194.106.*.*
Allow from 195.137.*.*
</Files>

Tried that, afraid it seems to ban everyone then, I'm running Apache 2.0.49, if that bears any difference?

Does the code work properly on the whole directory (ie without the <Files> tag)?

Nope, gives me a 403 on everything, and as you can see, I'm on a 195.137.*.* IP.

Sorry, I think it's just the syntax which is wrong:

Code:

<Files speedtest.php>
Deny from all
Allow from 194.106
Allow from 195.137
</Files>
