I don't appreciate getting e-mails like this, flaming is for lamers. That is my sig, It's not full of shit and you can easily look up certifications off the Microsoft website. "?" is a well known wildcard for a single character incase you didn't know you tool. If you read my e-mail instead of blaintantly flaming you would have seen I was mentioning my methods of what I did in my ban script because mIRC didn't seem to count "?"'s in it's iswm function as far as I could get to work last night. I for the time being changed them to "*"'s as I DIDN'T want to match every character for every "?". However once again the "?" is a well know single character wildcard.

Now on to your question Andrew.
I connect and have my IP example 255.255.25.2 I have my actual hostname on the server which will be something like ppp255-255.lns2.syd3.internode.on.net then I oper and get a vhost of my.vhost

Now ?'s work as they should in your vhost and server hostname. However try banning *!*@255.255.??.? When you go to unban it will say you have been unbanned, yet you are still banned.
