Hi Jim thanks for your reply.

I've tried wiping both my htaccess file and robots.txt file but am still having the same problem. The strange thing is, those IP's appear in my top 5 referral URLs!

21290.94%http://64.233.169.132/translate_c
31110.81%http://bbs.dospy.com/viewthread.php
4880.64%http://72.14.203.132/translate_c
5540.39%http://64.233.189.132/translate_c

My htaccess file looks like this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.example.co.uk/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://www.example.co.uk$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://example.co.uk/.*$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://example.co.uk$ [NC]
RewriteRule .*\.(jpg¦jpeg¦gif¦png¦bmp¦swf)$ http://www.example.co.uk/images/nohotlink.jpe [R,NC]

AddType application/x-httpd-php .html .htm
AddType application/x-httpd-php .xml

and robots only disallows agents to view a couple of pages on the server that I use for data entry.

The other strange thing is that other translating sites, MSN, Yahoo, work fine...
