Hi,

Here I need you to get the information as how can I increase server request time....or can generate server not found error....for the specific Ip...??

Is there any way....to do so????

Thanks for your kind attention.

"Increase the server request time" means what exactly??

Sending a 404 response

PHP Code:

<?php
header("HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found");
?>

to increase the time passed to generate a page, simply use the php sleep() function, which makes PHP, well, sleep for a determined time period.
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sleep.php

And an "not found" error is simply an return code 404 sent from an header:
http://php.net/manual/en/function.header.php

PHP Code:

header('HTTP/1.0 404 Not Found');
exit(); 


and voila.

I mean browser will appear as working.....but it will not show any results...and browser will end the request....because calling time increased.

I hope, its clear...

I don't recommend increasing calling time. even if you used sleep it'll end up locking up some memory allocated for the script. which mean if there are many requests and say your response time is 5 minutes it could end up exhausting your server memory or if you are on shared hosting they may suspend you for eating the whole server memory.

I recommend the other way to just send 404 not found response. I use it my self many times. It is good also for SEO. if you need search engines to stop requesting some pages and remove them fastly from their index you can use this way.

I don't recommend increasing calling time.

I think it's a good idea, but maybe not via a sleep(), but an intermediate page that will not allow the form submission for a given time.

Increasing the time between login attempt at each errors can be a pretty effective way to discourage brute force logins.
