Help Blocking allow ips except

[BlackRaven]

hi wondering if anyone could help me. I need to block all ips except certain ip ranges for my admin area. So how do i allow the following ip ranges and block all others. Also i would like to do this before the Authtype (just as an added security).

Allow Ips from
home (62.123.434.X) Where X is any number
work (55.14.434.X) Where X is any number

My .htaccess file
AuthName "Admin Area"
AuthType Basic
AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/.htpasswd
Require user admin

BlackRaven,

If you add the following lines to the top of your .htaccess file, it should do what you are requesting:

Order Deny,Allow
Allow from 62.123.434.0/255.255.255.0
Allow from 55.14.4340/24
Deny from All

Note that the "/255.255.255.0" and "/24" are interchangeable.
