    I have this issue now. I'm using Windows Firewall. I've opened port 80. Now, I just want an specific IP ranges to access the port. I don't understand how I can add the ranges I want to add. The example given is:

    192.168.114.201,192.168.114.201/255.255.255.0, ...

    The range I want to add/allow is:

    181.16.0.0 - 181.16.255.255
    and
    164.55.0.0 - 164.55.255.255

    How can I do this? Can you please help me?

    Oh god, if you feel that you MUST use the "Windows Firewall" then I guess I'll spare you the answer. Edit the netfw.inf file in your %windir%\inf folder. After you've modified the netfw file, open a command prompt and run: netsh firewall reset to force the system to reread its contents. Within the inf file, you must edit the appropriate section, ie. domainprofile or standardprofile depending on whether the machine participates in a domain or workgroup. The netsh firewall command also allows scripted commands to control the firewall, but I'm not 100% certain that a subset of a range can be entered w/o having to explicitly list all the IP's.

    Well this sound a little too complicated. I just need the combination of IP and subnet so that I can put them directly to windows firewall.

    Can you recommend me a good firewall software that works with Windows Server 2008?

    Hi,

    181.16.0.0 - 181.16.255.255 this would be represented as 181.16.0.0/255.255.0.0
    and
    164.55.0.0 - 164.55.255.255 this would be represented as 164.55.0.0/255.255.0.0

    So you list should look like: 181.16.0.0/255.255.0.0,164.55.0.0/255.255.0.0
