I'd start by familiarizing yourself with the mod_access documentation as 
it covers access controls which are usually base in IP, hostname, 
subnet, and environment variables.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_access.html

Because this is a password protect site why would you need to also 
restrict access by subnets also? You could just do "Require user bill 
tom" and only those users would be allowed access. Of create a group 
file, set AuthGroupFile and then "Require group bill_tom".
