I used the .htaccess maker. I am getting a notice from DMC firewall saying "You have a .htaccess file - But you don't have the Limit /Limit section" . I assumed this was fine. However, the geographic blocking in admintools isn't working.

Admin Tools' Geographic blocking does not use the .htaccess file. It operates via a Joomla! plugin. The plugin checks the IP address trying to access the site against the permitted and banned IP address ranges and either allows the access or blocks it.
At the top of the Admin Tools Control Panel page, do you have a notice that you need to download and install the GeoIP plugin?

no, I already downloaded geoip plugin. however, I do have a notice "You need to specify your Download ID before you can receive updates for Admin Tools Professional." I assume this shouldn't be why I'm not able to block sites. Any other suggestions? http://clinicinsmind.com

Is the System - Akeeba GeoIP provider plugin enabled?
You can find your Download ID in the menu above under "My". If you support multiple sites you can also set up Add-on IDs for each site. You are correct, that is not part of the current problem, it is a future problem. :-)

Alan,
It is never a waste of time. I'm glad we got it fixed.
