PMAPAC Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 "Not a valid IP address pattern" has appeared every time for several months, whenever I suggest a site for submission. What does this mean, please? I have tried submitting from several different locations and get the same response, to what otherwise seems to be a compliant to to the rules submission. And the site I am trying to submit is a normal www . com address. I have tried the search function in this section for this, btw, but nothing came up. Thank you.

jimnoble Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 I've just suggested it to Regional/Asia/Singapore/Business_and_Economy/Agriculture using the public interface without any problem (except for fighting the CAPTCHA of course ).

jimnoble Posted November 23, 2010 Posted November 23, 2010 Fantastic. Just to be clear, I haven't listed it; I merely did what you should have been able to do. Some other editor will evaluate it in due course .

Author1ty Posted March 11, 2011 Posted March 11, 2011 I am also getting the "Not a valid IP address pattern in ip" error... Is there anything you can suggest that may help?
jimnoble Posted March 12, 2011 Posted March 12, 2011 @Author1ty and aldops: Your IP addresses don't match the address ranges that have a problem. What's more, by a truly amazing coincidence, you are both using the same one :lol: .

jimnoble Posted April 15, 2011 Posted April 15, 2011 Try using a proxy server so that you'll have a different IP address.

bryannnnn Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 As the post immediately above yours says, try using a proxy server so that you'll have a different IP address. Hi Jim, I've been getting this same problem for almost a year now. I've been waiting patiently, because I know that DMOZ may take months to list a site or resolve issues such as this one. However, I just came across your advice here after trying to find out why I'm getting this error. In fact, I tried following your proxy server advice, which, indeed, on the face of it, seems like a plausible workaround. However, the problem is that proxy servers do not allow the Captcha info to come through. In lieu of the image, I get a missing image icon and the sound file is not active, i.e. I can click it but it doesn't play. Please let me know how to resolve this issue. I'm not sure if it's a regional error, since it appears as if only Singapore (SingTel?) is effected, but I'd like to ratchet up the urgency to find a solution somewhat, as it safe to sasy it's not going away by itself. FYI, the sites I have been trying to get listed are: <URLs removed> I'm looking forward to your reply. Regards, Bryan
