Network address restrictions don't work on IP ranges. By putting 10.0.0.0
in there, you're specifying that the user can only log in from 10.0.0.0
(the actual IP address).

Other than "don't do that", no, not really.

It's been a long time since I've worked with IPX, but from what I recall,
for that you could specify a network range that login was allowed from.

No problem. You could submit an enhancement request (http://
www.novell.com/rms) for this, but honestly I wouldn't expect to see it
change any time soon.
