Is there any way to use the Accept() routine to only accept a connection
from a specific IP address?  Currently my program accepts a connection
from anyone issuing a connect() call to it.  I would like to specify that
it should only accept a connection from a particular IP address.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Thanks in advance,

Marco Oballa
