Hi,

Can someone point me in the right direction on a really simple access
control issue? Here is the situation:

1. an app on a client computer connected to internet and executes this kind
of code:
acceptor = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Stream,
ProtocolType.Tcp);
acceptor.Bind(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, port));
acceptor.Listen(ListenQueueSize);
socket = acceptor.Accept();

2. on a web server executes this kind of code:
socket.Connect(new IPEndPoint(ip, port));
sockets[i] = socket;
nHosts += 1;
socket.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Tcp, SocketOptionName.NoDelay, 1);
socket.SetSocketOption(SocketOptionLevel.Socket,SocketOptionName.Linger,new
System.Net.Sockets.LingerOption(true, LingerTime));

This code executes fine, my problem is that the client asks for a user name
and password to access the server and I don't want that to happen, I want
the client (code) to know the server login so this dialog does not appear.

So my question is, how might this be done?

Thanks very much for helping!

Dan
