all he gets is the message "You are using an Invalid IP to access this site!".

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thank You

EDIT:

I found the source for this message. It is on line 142 of /includes/nukesentinel.php and reads:

// Invalid ip check
if(isset($bypassNukeSentinelInvalidIPCheck) AND $bypassNukeSentinelInvalidIPCheck) {;}
elseif ($nsnst_const['remote_ip']=="none") { die(_AB_INVALIDIP); }

My new question is - does anyone think there would be any potential problems if I removed the complete "elseif" statement to bypass no remote ip? or do you think this is used/important elsewhere?

Instead, I recommend loading the latest IP2Country tables. That would ensure this security is in-place and works as intended.
