Warning
The following considerations are to be understood when using the Access Manager to
configure IPlimitations:
l Each permission type (column)is evaluated from top to bottom (column per
column)in the order they are visible in the Access Manager window. This means
that wide ranges should always be at the top to increase performance. For example,
if you accept HTTPconnections from any IP, the first entry should be
255.255.255.255 with the Allow checkmark in the HTTPInput box. PlanetPress
