RE: Accept requests from an certain IP Port.

Eduard,

Is there a firewall between your iSeries and the remote machine? I've
never met a firewall that didn't allow you to specify the remoteIP
allowed to access a port. 

If not, can you change the receiving program to simply check the IP
address of the other end of the socket and drop the connection if it's
not your desired IP?

Dear all,
 
We have an RPG socketinterface server sitting waiting on connection
requests on a certain port.
Now we only want to accept connections from an certain IP Address.
Doe someone know if and how this can be arranged??
 
Kind regards,
Eduard Sluis.
