But if you are trying to make a site just for your company's staff can access it only from work, then you would want to put the .htaccess file in the root folder.

Because you just want to limit access to the /wp-admin folder? So...if I wanted to have a WordPress site hosted externally but used as an internal company resource so that only people using IPs of our company could access it...if I edited the root folder's .htaccess folder to only allow IPs from our domain...that would work the same way your /wp-admin fix is, but for the entire site, correct?

Like I need only my laptop to access a particular folder.. I could access it from anywhere so it would be difficult to specify an IP as my internet access would be based on DHCP. Is there a unique identifier for every machine or something like that that can be used as a criteria? Can I limit access based on other criterias?
