Yes - I am sure. Their IT Manager gets blocked every time he tries to login via the GUI to add a new user.
I remove the IP from the APF deny rules and he is able to access the GUI. Sets up a new user and tests it and all okay.
New user (client downloading drawings) tries to access FTP and can't. I check the deny list and sure enough they are in there.

Add IPs to allow rules and all okay until one day ... can't login again. Check APF and they are back in the deny rules.

Very strange.

Yeah ... or Greg. Just thought that as Michael had put it on for me he might have an idea. :)
