| 192161 | 2003-11-15 07:18:00 | is there any program that can block a specified port on your computer?? actually i need to block people from being able to "connect" to the listening port on my computer... i kinda need that port to be on 'listen' but at the same time not allowing anyone to establish a connection... i tried port blocker from analogx... but that occupies the port so you can't listen on it... this might be a weird question but if anyone have any idea.. plz help.. |

Program access can be controlled as well, from nil, conditional, to full. | Rod ger (316) | ||
