I have a feedback form on my website, and some looser in Amsterdamn keeps sending stupid feedback messages. He has been doing this in the morning and evening hours for three days now, and sends 5 to 10 at a time. Each time he does, everyone in our webteam gets an email as if it were a feedback submission. He does not have a static IP address, but his IP addresses all contain "212.98.16.". I know how to block static IP addresses from an ASP page using a conditional statement, but can anyone tell me how (or if) I could create an "if then" statement containing a wildcard?

for example:

<%
Dim IP_Address
IP_Address = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_HOST"

if IP_Address <> "212.98.16.*" then ...


Thanks for any help in advance!

Try something like:

<%
IP_Address = Request.ServerVariables("REMOTE_HOST"
If InStr(IP_Address, "212.98.16." <> 0 then
Response.Write("Get lost loser"
Else
Response.Write("Welcome"
End If
%>

Regards

Owen.
