64.50.50.45,64.50.45.50,64.50.45.45

Using all 4? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. If your ip changes every time you reconnect, whose to say it will be the same as one of the three you already listed. I truely don't think IP ranges are even needed if the person would just not be stupid enough to get hacked or whatever.
By the way guys, IP numbers are from 0 to 255, there is no IP number higher than 255... Spark, you put 642, lol.
About the whole AOL ordeal... you have to understand something. The person would not only have to get their pass stolen, but also the person that stole it, would have to be using AOL. Just because the person has the name and pass doesn't mean they are using AOL to access the net. so a simple one number ip range block would work fine.
I think anyone that uses AOL doesn't have common sense in the first place, because it's a piece of crap ISP. Sorry if I offend those that don't have a choice in their ISP's.
