http://wipfw.sourceforge.net/ import os def deny(src, dst, proto="all"): cmd = "ipfw add deny " + proto + " from " + src + " to " + dst os.system(cmd) ipfw for Windows is technically in beta, but ipfw itself is rock solid. tom ------------------------------ Tom, many thanks for that. I'm actually looking for a firewall (packet filter) I can control in realtime from a Python application, or even a Win32 equivalent of http://woozle.org/~neale/src/ipqueue/ . Though if I can stop & restart ipfw in a fraction of a second from within a Python app then the result would be the same I guess. I will have a play with it. Any other suggestions gratefully received too Cheers Tim -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
