Two ideas:

1. Slightly harder bop and louder "NO!"
2. Check out the Immersion thread, concentrating on the "Extreme Immersion."

dose anyone know what page the extream immersion is on? i vant find it and she is still biteing she wont bite when im holding or petting her but if im not paying attention or she gets a sniff of me she sinks her teeth in as deep as she can in free range or in cage, she isnt scared of me comes when i call her and even climbs all over me but every chance she gets she is biteing now and its not getting any better

Extreme immersion is part of the immersion thread here: http://www.ratforum.com/showthread.php?67442-Immersion-Training-The-Guide. Basically the extreme immersion form shows you how to convince your rat that you are alpha/the boss/mom/dad or whatever term you prefer.

Read every post by Rat Daddy on page 1. That should get you started. You can post questions in that thread, too, if you need more help.
