Anyone know how to enter a "valid IP Address Range" - This should be simple...!

I am trying to block an IP range of some idiot in Singapore who keeps trying to interrogate my development server.   So, I have gone to Advanced -> Security -> Block Services to add a new rule. ...

    Hi - I think I misunderstood what the Block Services was for. I thought it was to block external services coming in but I think its to block access from within to external services hence the router is expecting a local IP range. A more verbose error message would have helped.

    I have performed the block with Apache so all cool. Thanks for getting back to me.
