Hot link problem

I found several web sites hotlinking some of my images. I've been given several different codes to put in .htaccess but so far nothing has worked. I need a code that will stop ALL hotlinkers but let me call for images from one of my domains to the other. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

Code:

RewriteEngine on

# leave this line in allow empty referrers, remove to disallow empty referrers

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ [NC]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.*@)?([a-z0-9-]+\.)*yourdomain\.com(:[0-9]+)?(/.*)?$ [NC]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.*@)?([a-z0-9-]+\.)*yourotherdomain\.com(:[0-9]+)?(/.*)?$ [NC]

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.*@)?1\.2\.3\.4(:[0-9]+)?(/.*)?$

RewriteRule .*\.(asf|mpg|mpeg|wmv|avi|rm|gif|jpeg|jpg|zip)$ - [NC,F,L]

That didn't work. I still have images that are being hot linked. The very first two images of black women on this site:
http://www.whatboyswant.com/forum_read/1072455/24/

are being hot linked from my domain, fuckpage.com. I have .htaccess in the root directory at my server. There is also a .htaccess in a folder called "private". I think the .htaccess should go in the root directory.

You might have them cached -- they don't show up for me.

That's great if they don't show up. I went into my comtrol panel and deleted cookies, temporary internet files and cleared out history. I guess there's a cache somewhere that I don't know about. What did you get at that site, a red X in a box?

if your browser is not sending a referrer, due to some privacy software or whatever, it will still show the image.

You can comment out that first line:

#RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$ [NC]

and it will block empty referrers. That could block legit surfers that are running privacy software, but, there's always the possibility they won't accept the cookie and you wouldn't get the sale anyhow.
