...But, the block was this, not invalid IP...

well he reckons that it used to say invalid ip but since updating its now saying admin ban.

Daft thing is i have searched for his IP in the banned range and its not there, could it have banned someone else in the range and also prevented him access ?

sorry about this..

I'm confused now lol.
When you do a search on the IP, NS will list (as per your screenie) the IP2C range it is in - it is showing you that it knows the IP and which country it belongs to, so no problem there.

The next section (as per your screenie) shows the tracked IP - i.e. who it is if it is a registered user and which pages they accessed.

If the user IP has indeed been banned than there should be more sections below the two you show in your screenie which would probably be titled something like "Blocked Ranges" to indicate it found the IP within a range of IP's that has been blocked.

As his tracked visits only show he accessed forum pages there are only three things I can think of.
1. He has more than one IP
2. His IP is in the 'Excluded Range' - but this would show when you do a search on his IP.
3. In NS configuration the 'default' message to show on a ban is 'admin reason' instead of 'site reason'.

On a side note , if the user has made forum posts, don't forget you can also check cross reference his IP by clicking the 'IP' icon on his post to see if he is using more than one Wink
