If I create a Socket (let's say on port 200), is that socket guaranteed to be visible outside the computer it's on (assuming no firewall)? Is it possible to set a socket so it's not visible non-locally? How?

Also is it possible to make it accept only incoming requests from certain addresses? How?

Thanks.

Not sure what you mean, but I restricted access to socket correcting policy file, security manager is on.
