Re: Restriction of national IP only

OK, Thanks for all.

Fortunately it was only temprorary restriction, now is everything all right.

I thing it's good idea to make something like www.w3c-validator.cz and in
Czech language too. I hope, i will find someone who knows something about
linux etc. and will make something.

I have tried A Real Validator,  but there was some problem with national
characters in document (not supporting the windows-1250 charset). Maybe it
was some old version with support of HTML 4 only.

Best regards
