So this post is a bit outdated. To accomplish the same thing, you'll have to create a number of smaller ranges. @David: Yeah, Salesforce fixed some things on their end and only allow smaller ranges to be created.

I could go from 10.0.0.0 to 12.0.0.0 but not to 13.0.0.0. Apparently there's a specific number of IP addresses allowed to be specified. I tried this in a production org, and it wouldn’t let me do it.

This "security" measure is a serious PITA and simply defeats the run "anywhere" attitude that SalesForce used to have. I agree with Stuart.

After all the motivation resulted from a gullible SFDC employee responding to a phishing attack. It is a real inconvenience for me because I can no longer access my SFDC account from the browser on my mobile phone because I have no way of accessing the activation link. The IP address restrictions are a sledgehammer to crack a nut. By contrast I can access my bank account from my mobile phone or any computer I choose. Their security measures involve requesting random characters from my password and and a secret question. Think again Salesforce is my view.

I just was having an issue with a EMEA support rep who works from home and his ISP gives him a dynamic IP every day. Therefore he was being asked every morning to authentic. I total forgot about which I think will solve my issue. Now I'm not going to enable it for my company, just my Level 3 CSR's. Therefore if they do travel and go on site and have to use a different computer they will not have to authenticate. At least that's the feedback so far from the support managers. Thanks again.
