Hey guys Blocking IP's doesn't make too much sense, because I'm behind a proxy, like 100s of other co-workers in my company. So I guess this won't work, because we all have the same IP - or don't we? I'm no big network specialist, as you see.. ;-)
Setting a password is a possibility, though. I will consider this. And yes, I didn't do the change for all the files, Michael. I will check this possibility out, too. Thanks!
