I found one sample that allowed binding to a particular ip address, at that time it was using the ALL constant or so. The binding wasnt the problem, it was the sending and recieving data/strings once bound.

The main purpose of this thread is to get a reply from the team whether or not they were to natively support this ability. Instead of having users scrounge the forums, third party sites, translate old codes, and ruffle through the MSDN, or even create their own via another language.

This is one of the key features missing from PB. I believe this was mentioned before but no definate answer.

I know some people dont understand the why this is needed, even with explainations, but ah well.
Tonight I read a discussion in the german forum where more ppl asked for this feature. I just want to bring ja reminder on it couse I second this request a lot.
It would be very fine if it where possible to bind interfaces/IPs to servers so that these does not listen on all IPs available on the system. Maybe for 4.20? :-)
