.NET Forum / Languages / Managed C++ / January 2008Limiting connections from localhost only?
Hi, I'm using Sockets classes from this web site: http://www.adp-gmbh.ch/win/misc/sockets.html to create a very simple server Is it possible to limit connections to my server to localhost only? (so not accept any remote connections) What would I have to do? > Hi, I'm using Sockets classes from this web site: > http://www.adp-gmbh.ch/win/misc/sockets.html [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > > What would I have to do? Find the code that handles incoming connections and make sure the IP address is 127.0.0.1. If it is, refuse the connection. You may possibly need to also check the A name in some cases which would be anything other than localhost.

That way, it isn't even seen by the outside! /steveA
