  HTTP 403.6 - Forbidden: IP address rejected Reply Contact Hi There, I am trying to remove IP security from IIS but I keep getting this error in IE when clearing the granted and denied screens in the "IP Address and Domain Name restrictions". I get this error if I am on a workstation, from the server, using localhost or the IP address. If I put the workstation address back into the denied except for then it works. However this is not a working solution. Any ideas what I have missed?

You would clear IIS security settings in the IIS Manager applet, not in IE. Jeff Look for Wrox's new book Professional IIS 7 in your local bookstore, or order now at Amazon.com

You should select granted access except for and then enter the IP addresses you wish to block : Securing Sites with IP Address Restrictions (IIS 6.0) Regards, Paul Lynch | www.iisadmin.co.uk

  Re: HTTP 403.6 - Forbidden: IP address rejected Reply Contact Hi, If the list is empty and yet you have 'Denied access' ticked then logically you are telling IIS to deny access to the whole world except for the empty list below. IIS will duly follow that insruction and deny access to all IP addresses (including localhost) and your web site will be inaccessible to the whole world, including you.
