[TriLUG] brainfart question

[WA Brown]

I have done all of this.But all they do is change the IP addy and come right 
back. I get "attacks" from asia,russia,korea,america, and just about 
anywhere you can think of. It would take someone working full time just to 
keep the list updated.
I am looking for something that will keep them from getting on.
