Yes I know, but it wasn't working that way either, so I tried the 
.htaccess way, hoping it would be different.

Right now every one can download from the site. What I have found, and 
forgot to mention, is that I can't modify the default. If the order 
directive say the default is allow, then it seems to ignore the "deny 
from all" line. Whereas if the default is deny then it ignores the 
"allow from 128.187" line. As it is now, the default is allow so 
everyone can get in, seeing that "there is no deny." (At least that is 
what I figure.)

I am sorry for being so ignorant, but where is the access_log typically?
