any ideas on how to block a network port from being used, or one that
is currently in use? For example, say I want to block port 23 from
being used. by used, I mean allowing connections to or from it.
thanks in advance. 5 5927

This is not really a Python question. Blocking ports is a function
of your firewall solution.

ok, no of any python solutions? or command-line firewalls?

You did try searching Google for "python firewall", right? http://www.google.com.au/search?q=python+firewall
The very first entry is a pointer to a solution for Windows.
You really need to provide more information if you want more detailed
advice, like what operating environment you're working with. You should
find something in the search results to help you, though.

So now you're question is how to write a firewall in python?
You can probably bind to all the ports and not open up any connections. That
would keep something else from using the port. Simple but effective.
Firewall software is a much better solution, though
Good luck.

That first entry was my thread :)
IPFW is stable and runs as a Windows service, the rules can be
added/deleted/changed/viewed in real-time making it a good candidate
for pairing with Python.
I have used it to write servers that temporarily firewall themselves
against dubious connections.
My preferred method is something like
def ip_fw(fwcmd): #
try:
i,o,e = win32pipe.popen 3('C:\\ipfw\\bi n\\ipfw '+fwcmd)
return i,o,e
except:
print sys.exc_info()[0]
Nowadays I might use something other than popen3 depending on the
level of return status I needed.
(from memory, not tested, and not the best Python code )

I'm wondering if anyone can help me with a strange problem I'm having.
First off, here's what I'm trying to do:
I'm developing a UDP network application that should allow the end user
to choose the network interface they want to send and receive UDP
packets on. Simple enough.
If the computer has a single network card and IP address this all works

hi, there. i have a problem writing a program which can obtain ip
addresses of machines running in the same local network.
say, there are 4 machines present in the network; , , and
and if i run my program on , it should be able to find "host names"
and "ip addresses" of the other machines; , and ?
i have read some threads posted on this group, however, they only work
for localhost, not the entire network.

2. Does one side (server) have to be listening on a port to be able to detect that it is open? If it doesn't listen, than requests end up no where. right?
