ADMIN CONTROL PANEL > vBulletin Options > User Banning Options > Banned IP Addresses
IP address ban lists: You may ban any IP addresses from registering and posting. Type in the complete IP number (as in 243.21.31.7), or use a partial IP number (as in 243.21.31).
vBulletin will do matches from the beginning of each IP number that you enter. Thus, If you enter a partial IP of 243.21.31, someone attempting to register who has an IP number of 243.21.31.5 will not be able to register. Similarly, if you have an IP ban on 243.21, someone registering who has an IP of 243.21.3.44 will not be able to register. Thus, be careful when you add IPs to your ban list and be as specific as possible.
As with the email ban list, put a space between each IP number. The IP Ban prevents anyone with matching IP number from registering and posting.
